These days if you can get someone on the phone with access to an AI you can definitely get some pretty decent motions written, just watch for hallucinated citations.

It's so kind of them.
Otherwise yes, any trick that ends up in a popular book would probably not be that useful for people actually trying to flee from law enforcement. Or it would be some super vague advice in the tune of "don't leave traces of you being there".
I see what you didn't do there!

The FAA administers aviation, an actual necessary and valuable endeavor. The theatrical display you are subjected to in airports is overseen by DHS as justification for their continued existence as a jobs program. It has nothing to do with aviation.
But yes, the FBI would be happy to have fugitives be caught at an airport checkpoint, although I doubt they’d risk relying on DHS to do it.
Or does getting a notification like this require a warrant or similar court approval first?
The whole sequence of events reads like something straight out of a Vince Gilligan show, like Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul.[a]
The only significant difference is that Gilligan's shows take place in New Mexico instead of Arizona.

That may constitute bigamy in some states.
He had fake IDs shipped to his home address through USPS.
The federal agencies definitely knew who he was already. The scene in the library is noteworthy but they would have Got Him without it.
International flight means entry/exit searches can happen more easily and/or less likely to be deemed unconstitutional. IANAL.

I read all kinds of non fiction things I won’t even list here but I seem to be a perfectly boring member of society. It’s just interesting subject matter
In addition, such evidence is important in establishing bail, as risk of fleeing is of primary concern.
You sensibly mention that this was not brought up until after the warranted search. But why is this title being mentioned now? Is the suggestion that someone who’s been charged with a crime should not attempt to read up on his rights—that doing so is a black mark suggesting flight risk? If the other book, on disappearing, is derogatory in itself, then why bring up this book too?
Witch hunters during the inquisition literally used to do this sort of thing to help condemn people

Hans also claimed to have misplaced the passenger seat (it was missing from the car)
After trial he admitted he threw the passenger seat in a dumpster.
Don't know your rights, people, it's proof you're bad!
I guess "step 15" from the book was "marry your criminal associates, so you're not forced to testify against each other": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spousal_privilege?
Step 1 should be "don't buy any incriminating books related to your planned disappearance" followed by the next chapter, "step 2: too late, already".
