Don't waste your money on this book because its mostly useless. If you want it then get it used. The author wants gullible readers to jump through hoops in the name of privacy. There's a fine line between privacy and paranoia. And he just seems to want to scare you.

Let me start by saying that yes we're all part of "the system" but you can still manage to have your privacy. The government is made up of people, its not like they're some god up in the sky. And they make a lot of mistakes and mostly go after people who want the attention and make a lot of noise about it too.

Like people who hold protests and give the government headaches, these are the people that the government most likely will deal with.

I've learned the #1 rule of privacy is don't tell anyone anything that you don't want them to know. Even if they're family, best friends, the gf or bf of the moment, etc.

Even if they are trustworthy, sometimes by accident they might make things to others known that you would rather they keep private, like when they go out to a bar with other friends on a Saturday night and might let some things slip. No one is entitled to know your whole history if you don't want them to. An individual is allowed to their own privacy. Some things in life are just for you.

It also helps if you don't sign up for everything that people want you to sign up for. Like credit card offers, magazine/newspaper subscriptions, bookstore memberships, blockbuster memberships, grocery store memberships, if you move then don't register to vote, etc. It helps if you minimize your involvement in the system.

Starting over doesn't have to be some "fantasy" that you read about in a book. You can even legally change your name in court if you want to. Move to a new city in your state that's very far away from your old life, or move out of state and have a clean start.

I believe that our lives belong to us and if we can't live them as we wish to live them then what's the point, after all we only live once. But I really think that the best way to keep your privacy is to keep things to yourself, and minimize your involvement in the system.

I'm not saying you have to be a hermit, I'm a very social person but there are things that I do keep to myself.

Serves To Raise One's Awareness

This is an interesting read for anyone curious. Some facts are simple, practical, and easy to apply - such as checking off "temporary move" when getting your mail forwarded to a new address if it is not a temporary move. Other techniques and advice are interesting, but they're not always easy to execute. I found myself saying "sounds nice, but that's too much trouble" when a single mistake can "blow your cover." However I realize some people (e.g., battered wives) will find this book invaluable and will go to great lengths to protect themselves. This book was released years ago. I recommend consulting a PI for advice if you seriously need help of this nature.

A must read for everyone

I read the silliness written by "Miss Deplume" and shook my head. It is wrong and ignorant at best and I hope the thinking person will see this shoddy review is FAR outweighed by the postive comments.

We review our book regularly and are slowly instituting measures that provide us with more security. And let's face it---in this day in age there is one person and one alone who is watching out for your best interests: a look in the mirror will reveal who this is.

Growing up, our family was affected by violent crime more than once. Had we had some of Mr. Luna's tactics in place....they would not have happened.

In a culture that is increasingly naive about the evils lurking out there (Hello? Facebook?)...this book could literally save your life. And if you have a daughter- it is incumbent that you educate yourself and her.

Finally---If you're a criminal on the lame---find another book. This book is for honest folks looking to decrease their risk of identity theft or being the victim of a violent crime.

I've urged several of my friends to purchase this book and hope you, dear read, will do the same.

From cyberspace to crawl spaces, new innovations in information gathering have left the private life of the average person open to scrutiny, and worse, exploitation. In this thoroughly revised update of his immensely popular guide How to Be Invisible, J.J. Luna shows you how to protect yourself from these information predators by securing your vehicle and real estate ownership, your bank accounts, your business dealings, your computer files, your home address, and more.

J.J. Luna, a highly trained and experienced security consultant, shows you how to achieve the privacy you crave and deserve, whether you just want to shield yourself from casual scrutiny or take your life savings with you and disappearing without a trace. Whatever your needs, Luna reveals the shocking secrets that private detectives and other seekers of personal information use to uncover information and then shows how to make a serious commitment to safeguarding yourself.

There is a prevailing sense in our society that true privacy is a thing of the past. Filled with vivid real life stories drawn from the headlines and from Luna's own consulting experience, How to Be Invisible, Revised Edition is a critical antidote to the privacy concerns that continue only to grow in magnitude as new and more efficient ways of undermining our personal security are made available. Privacy is a commonly-lamented casualty of the Information Age and of the world's changing climate-but that doesn't mean you have to stand for it.
