Too much Big Brother/Illuminati hand waving, I'm assuming. It's too easy to say the "sprawling tendrils of the shadowy intelligence agency" finds your character, regardless of the fact that he erased his SIN, stripped naked, blasted every RFID tag within 100 miles of himself with the EMP from a nuke set off to kill everyone the character knows and to fake his death, swims out to the middle of the Pacific on a strip of driftwood and then freedives to the bottom of the ocean where the Agency is waiting to pick him up and return him for questioning.
It becomes hackneyed after a certain point.
