Most of those books are useless now. They were all written pre-2001. And I would wager all the loopholes used have been patched up. I'd be interested to see what Neil Strauss does, I didn't realize he had a book out.

Yeah.
It used to be very easy to get copies of birth certificates and things (with almost no proof you're the person it's for), but at least in the UK, they tightened this up in around 2004.

It would be interesting to see. But even if all of the old loopholes have been patched up, I'd wager that new ones have emerged at the same time. It's just a question of finding them.
