In 1994, I was the only non-law-enforcement expert on fake ID willing to go on national TV to talk about it. I had edited a dozen books on false identity documents for counterculture bookseller, Loompanics Unlimited, such as Reborn in the U.S.A., Reborn in Canada, Reborn with Credit, How to Get Lost, How to Disappear Completely, and The Heavy Duty New Identity, among many others. Unsurprisingly, none of the authors wanted to appear on TV, so Phil Donahue settled for me.
