For your sister:

As pointed out earlier, any technique is not 100% guaranteed.
But here two suggestions mentioned on a TV show:

1)  Fake an epileptic seizure (actually spit, foam, drool at the mouth
    including the convultions), asthma attack.

2)  Mention you have aids, herpes or the like.

But the best action is to try to avoid being in a situation which
might make you easy prey for a sicko.  As mentioned earlier, walk
with atleast on other person.  Take well lit routes and/or heavily
travelled routes.  If your instinct tells you it's not safe but you
have no other options before leaving a building, call the police and
ask to have an officer escort you.  If the police won't escort you,
call back with a good story about someone following you.

Don't be paranoid but cautious.  Be aware of your surroundings and
follow your instincts.

Take care.			Steve
