Flag jacking
Flag jacking is a Canadian slang term used to describe the act of a traveler wearing a foreign flag on their clothing or backpack, in an attempt to disguise the country they are visiting from, primarily in cases where American tourists wear Canadian flags in an attempt to pass as Canadians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=11 Ways Americans Can Act Canadian When Traveling Abroad )〕 The intention is that by showing the flag of a country regarded favorably by the region they are visiting, they will receive friendlier treatment or service than they might otherwise have encountered.
==Origin==
The term gained additional popularity after an article published in "How to Spot Flag-Jacking Frauds Abroad" on 1 July 2013 by ''The Huffington Post''.〔 In the article it was stated that Flag Jacking is a transitory act that corresponds to the actions of using a country's flag in order to create the false impression of being the citizen of favored nation. The most common situation, according to the article is, when Americans post as Canadians. Mentions of Flag Jacking can also be found in the late 1990s and are mentioned in a CNN news where few examples of Flag Jackers are also provided. 〔
