Ask Slashdot: What Would Your 'I've Got To Disappear' Plan Look Like?
New submitter diacritica writes "This Ask Slashdot is inspired by manhunts à-la-Bourne movies, but taking a more realistic approach to the world we live in. You are native to and live in a big city (> 1M pop) in a G8 country of your choosing. At T = 0h, you accidentally witness a strange event. At T = 1h, you realize you're being followed and you get the feeling that the police/government might be involved. Contextual data: you are able to speak one language apart from good English. You are 25 to 45 years old. You are computer savvy. You are engaged/married, you have family living in the same city. 99% of your money is in a bank account. You prefer to go 'rationally' paranoid. What would you do in order to feel safe after those first 24 hours? Remember, you didn't commit a crime, but there are plenty of real-world resources invested in catching you."
I wouldn't go out and get laid.

What Would Assange Do?
...that I posted my plan to /.
If you wanna be disappeared, just turn yourself in.
Please write my book for me.
Any G-8 country, you say? I pick Russia.
First step: Start preaching revolution.
Second step: Unneeded. I've already disappeared.
Everything is better with chainsaws.
Nobody will ever hear from me again or know who I am that way.
Asange tried that, didn't help him. The man hates to be shown off.
I'm aging rapidly, I bought a new game and had no idea if my machine was good for it.
I only let in celebrities - or at least internet celebrities.

That's why you should try to babble. If you look crazy enough, they won't have much of a reason to either arrest you or make you disappear. Just another conspiracy nut on the internet. If they do something to you, it would just give your words some weight.

They can take my LifeAlert pendant when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
You know who's really asking this question, don't you? The cops are looking for somebody, and the trail went cold. So now, they're crowd sourcing "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego"

The first rule of secret escape plans is that you keep them secret.
Hang on... Okay, got it. Second rule?
Thank you, Edward Snowden.

Once in my magical girl outfit, I'd fight those evil men. I'd prolly scare them to death too.
That may not be the kind of fantasy you were looking for, though.
ID: the nose did not occur naturally, how would we wear glasses otherwise? (apologies to Voltaire)
Which of my identities are you suggesting should go camping?
Can the othes carry on as usual?
Really... disinformation is the name of the game. I'd rather stay where I am and let the guys following me go camping.
(of course, this could be disinformation itself....)
A handful of barbiturates and a quart of vodka.
You are welcome on my lawn.
- Bus into town, taxi to real bus station, bus anywhere.
I would imagine they would expect you to take public transportation.
Moreover, if I have to travel by bus, just shoot me here.
Ask Slashdot: What would your I just got back from the international spacestation and I want to go back to my wife and friends plan look like? :-)
You are in Kazakhstan and the bus driving you from the Kosmodrome to Moscow got hijacked by Sart separatists from Tajikistan in a bid to recreate their own sovereign state. You dont speak any Russian, nor any Turkic language, but you master US-style signlanguage. All your money is in the US, and you proved not to be such a good 'survival expert' as you once thought. Your friends nor your wife who you just married can help you and you're in a space-suit. and no normal clothing around...
Oh, and some jokes on physics are welcome. No McGuiver-is stuff please.
