Choice

"In modern America, the best choice for fugitive travel is a private vehicle. The second best choice is a commercial vehicle such as a long-haul truck under the control of an underground railroad volunteer.

It's easy for anyone who knows how to drive and has a vehicle available to travel to any location; any destination in American is no more than five or six days away. As long as there's no national police bulletins out on the car, the car is in good mechanical condition, the lights all work, and the driver obeys all traffic laws, the chances of making it all the way without ever being challenged by a law enforcement officer are astronomically good. That's true even if the driver is a fugitive with his picture hanging in every post office and his face shining from every television set broadcasting a news report. "

This is what Jefferson said.

Guard

"During a police investigation in the United States, you do not haveto answer questions, because you're under the protection of the U.S.Constitution. However, police investigators have methods of inducingsuspects to talk despite Cosntitutional protection. You need to know these techniques...

During employment interviews, you don't have to answer questions, but the employer doesn't have to hire you. in practical terms, that'scoercion.Your goal is to present a good picture of yourself, and conceal anyderogatory information. If, for example, you once commited a crime and paid for your mistake in prison, there's no real need to reveal this to a prospective employer. Your honesty won't earn you any points, and you don't need to keep paying for your error for the rest of your life.There are many reasons why the average person needs to defend himself. Perhaps the most important one is that the interrogator or interviewis likely to be a pro, with much experience in his craft. He interviews people eight hours a day, forty hours a week, while most people face interviewers only occasionally. That gives the pro the edge.Techniques can be subtle, designed to catch subjects off guard. At times, you may not even know that you're being interrogated or interviewed....Letting your guard down during such moments can lead to serious problems..."
