A US man's plot to visit his girlfriend in Germany was foiled by airport employees in Frankfurt, the airport police said on Tuesday.

Germany maintains an air traffic connection with the US but most US nationals are not allowed to enter the country under current travel restrictions.

The German government makes exceptions for German residents or family members of German nationals.

The 20-year-old flew into Frankfurt Airport on Sunday and then tried to disguise himself as a janitor in order get past the airport security checkpoint.

The man put on a reflective vest and grabbed two black trash bags and headed towards the checkpoint, pretending he was there to empty the trash cans

LOL! Imagine what would have been done to him by the CBP if he had tried that as a German national in a FIS
