5 Answers
just been reading his book...very interesting, much more detail that the film...but its the 60s....how far do you think hed get now?
i know he has helped them with security so his scams wouldnt work really...but could it be done, using modern techniques?
or would the use of computers etc completly scupper him?
any thoughts?
cheers

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.thing is though, his scams relied on promoting his authority in order to make the teller trust him...even going so far as to fool a load of young girls into dressing as stewardesses to make him more believable..
most of his actual documents were actually pretty shoddy when placed next to the original, and he just made them up by cutting an pasting and photocopying...usually from once glance memory...
i mean his pan am id card had a sticker from a model airplane kit as the logo - and nobody ever noticed!
he also relied upon the fact that everything was done by hand...and it was down to teller to spot the fake...not machines.
if he tried what he did then now hed be spotted in an instant.
but as you say with all updated knowledge...could it be done?
