Something funny about their airport disguises...

"Instant Karma's gonna get you"

Paul actually wore some disquises in real life to keep from being mobbed constantly.

What’s more that many westerners do not notice, as I have found my entire life now, as many of us are weaned on the idiocy of American TV, (I discovered at age 12 when The Avengers first appeared here in Portland Oregon on evening prime time TV and thus I lost all interest in American film and TV) is that the British, just like their BBC journalism, is so far advanced over our lacking education and banal entertainment values, that with more viewing of these foreign made films, you will see that there appears to be many hidden pokes at our less than intellectual American humor and programming.

I discovered later after seeing the film Help! that the music which mocks the James Bond soundtrack guitar music is actually a Hindu influenced song originally written from the Sitar. The music arrangers from the Bond films took this from an old Sitar arrangement from India. *Note all the Hindu influences in the film- There are references even in the Hindi language as the Swami bribes McCartney about buying the gold in the early street scene, that the gold has “Shakti.” I learned much after being married to a Hindu woman some years ago.

Also note that the Beatles disguise garb in the scene you mentioned shows Harrison in Hindu style clothing from India. An influence that does not actually appear for another two years in their popular images.

There is much to learn from the film- Richard Lester was also a master of early ‘hand-held-camera’ direction. In this regard, Help! still remains a masterpiece today- Not to mention The Beatles timeless music that is undeniable.
