            Have you ever thought about disappearing? We'll explore
            how people do it. We start with an expert - Frank Ahearn.
            His new book is "How to Disappear: Erase Your Digital
            Footprint, Leave Fale Trails, and Vanish Without a
            Trace." He's a former skip tracer, and tells Steve
            Paulson how that works.

            If you really want to know how to disappear, you might
            want to talk to the U.S. Marshall Service, which runs the
            Federal Witness Protection Program. Gerald Shur has just
            written a book about its founding called "WITSEC: Inside
            the Federal Witness Protection Program. He tells Jim
            Fleming how he got it started. Keren David is a young
            adult author who has imagined just what that kind of life
            might mean. Her novel "When I Was Joe" chronicles the
            life of a 14 year old boy who's living it. She tells Anne
            Strainchamps about it. Also, Optical Physicists at the
            Imperial College in London have created blueprints for
            the perfect hiding place. Paul Kinsler, one of the
            study's authors, explains to Steve Paulson how they
            carved a hole out of space-time.

            David Bond got scared when he received a letter from the
            government saying they'd lost his newborn daughter's
            data. If they could lose that, he thought, what else
            might they lose. He decided to see if he could disappear
            himself, and put together a film called "Erasing David."
            He tells Jim Fleming what happened.
