Start helping a group of strangers look for myself for 5 days.

Hopefully they don't have a bloodhound on your scent.

The flights would probably buy me an easy 48 hours.

Not if you are going to La or NYC. The hunt would begin before you are off the plane and it would take them all of 10 minutes to do a head count and see if you are on it.

Or check security tape to see if you got on the flight.

Or check to see if you were scanned in at the gate. Which you weren't.

I'd lose, but my gut is to drive to the airport, leave my car, buy two tickets on my credit card going opposite directions to major cities - New York and LA. There is a new construction neighborhood of $200k houses right by the airport. I could get into one of these undetected.

I'd turn the alarm on, and hide out in the attic and take my chances. The flights would probably buy me an easy 48 hours. Then its a three day game.

Most idiots would be looking in the woods. That might give me another 24 hours. Some randoms would probably start looking in vacant houses around Day 4. It would be luck from that point.

I like it, but they'd know you didn't go through security in less than an hour by looking at camera footage FWIW. Then they'd check the cameras outside and see you on foot.

Search area just got brought down to a tiny area.

steal a bike from the neighborhood. ride it to lowe's and hide in the store until closing then climb up the outdoor garden area racks and hide in one of the boxes up on the top rack. Very small chance those will be touched in a five day period. Could easily do that in an hour. Possible you'd be in camera but are "they" going to go to every store within an hour and check surveillance? Tough to imagine.

eah I think the random grandmas home attic is the winner

Yep. If you went to some old ladies attic in any random neighborhood you would never be found. I know of a few in my hometown that would have no clue It would even be easy to go into the house and eat/use the restroom when they are gone

How about you kidnap someone who looks close to you (note it's before the one hour is over), you kill them with some type of poison, strap them in a car that has been dosed in gasoline, and right when the manhunt starts you're able to fake your own death, and also brutally burns the victim. You leave your cell phone behind and a trail of emails that are sent to various loved ones about killing yourself, take the victims car, and then by the time the autopsy report comes in and they conclude that you didn't kill yourself, then you've bought yourself another 2 days and can go in really any direction and be far away from wherever they may be looking for you?

This could work.

Have to find someone who looks like you in under an hour and get them to a secluded area off-camera to kill them and burn the car. Then you'd have to get to their car somehow.

what's the punishment for getting caught?

I think your chances of success are greatly increased if your last known location is some type of transportation hub. Airport, truck stop, container port facility, railyard... Creating some misdirection would also be very useful.

If I park my truck in the MSY garage, there are multiple possibilities that the searchers would have to pursue:
I could purchase airline tickets to multiple destinations and get on one, or none, of them.
I could cab or bus (or walk) to NO.
I could walk a half mile to the St Charles Parish line and hide in the swamp.
I could hangout at a N. Kenner crack house.
I could steal/carjack another vehicle in the garage.
I could hide at the airport.

Yeah, I know there are cameras all over the place, but I'm a master of disguise and, as an OTer, I always keep at least $10,000 cash in my gun safe. At 6'-5", my height will be difficult to conceal, but again, as an OTer, I'm confident that my superior intellect will prevail.
