Preparation

"Here are the basic rules for preparation for sudden flight.

1. Have a plan of escape. Know what your final destination is, how you will travel, and how you will survive once you have reached it.

2. Always have cash and portable wealth readily available. The best weapon is always money, or assets that can be easily converted to money. The more wealth a person has, the greater chance of success. The modern credit card makes this a much easier chore, provided one hits ATM machines before initiating flight. Once in flight, national credit cards must be abandoned, as the enemy can use them totrace the flight route. One alternative is to have a credit card issued on a foreign bank, preferably in a country that still guards bank secrecy. Such a card can be used in flight, a slong as no evidence of existence is left behind at the abandoned home.

3. Be prepared to pack for flight on a moment's notice....One can transfer prescription medicines to bottles without identification numbers, but take as much as possible.

4. Don't tell anyone about escape plans. Do not tell cover stories that explaina sudden absence...Use simple disguises

5. Don't contact close friends and families for help once you're in flight.Their homes will be the first places the enemy will be looking for...Instead, look for friends of friends, or old friends you haven't contacted in years..."

This is what Jefferson said.
