 ===Lockerbie bomb warning===
 :Corporate executives plugged into a private computer network were warned not to fly out of Europe on U.S. airlines in the days before terrorists bombed Pan Am Flight 103. The ability of businesses to buy security information unavailable to other airline passengers angers some relatives of people killed when the Boeing 747 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland.

 :"There was reason before the alert was given to think that radical Arab groups would attack American aircraft," Janke said. "We told our clients it was quite likely an American flight out of Europe or the Middle East would be targeted." He said he could not recall the source of the information that prompted the alert.<ref>BYLINE: TOM FOSTER And JONATHAN SALANT The Post-Standard 'EXECS WERE WARNED ABOUT BOMB THREAT', The Post-Standard (Syracuse, NY) January 19, 1990 Friday Metro Edition SECTION: LOCAL NEWS; Pg.

 :ISC also established close working relationships with the British police and military. [[John Alderson]], the director of the Bramshill Police College in 1972, asked Janke to help the college develop a course on terrorism and counter-subversion. The ISC's "Manual on Counter-Insurgency" was developed and used at the Police College and elsewhere. The stress of ISC's instruction was on the need for more extensive surveillance and preemptive action.<ref>Ibid. </ref> This training, sponsored ultimately by the [[CIA]] and British intelligence, is strongly reminiscent of the U.S. training of Latin American police in the 1960s and 1970s on subversion and the need for preemptive counterinsurgency, which [...] played a significant role in the rise of torture, disappearances, and large-scale state terrorism in that area.

 :"As far as I can tell the middle-class flying public is prevented from getting information that is available to the rich," said Susan Cohen, whose daughter, Theo, was returning on Flight 103 from a Syracuse University overseas study program. "Those who have can find out. Those who haven't can't."
 :[[Control Risks Ltd.]], a security consulting firm in London, offers clients a data base on risks of traveling overseas, said the firm's Peter Janke. The data base, called [[Travel Security Guide]], is updated daily with information and assessments on airlines, land transportation and hotels drawn from a variety of intelligence sources. Typical subscribers are executives of large multinational corporations.

 At Bramshill Janke met the commandant [[John Alderson]] who he said was ‘clearly aware that the whole topic of police concern with subversion was a delicate one and that the Home Office felt particularly strongly about this.’  This was a reference to the Home Secretary [[Reginald Maudling]] blocking an invitation to [[Frank Kitson]] to lecture at the college.  Despite this, according to Janke: ‘Alderson felt that the police college itself had a certain autonomy derived from daily decision taking and that small steps along new paths could in fact be made without prior consultation.’ In a subsequent visit Janke urged Alderson to take out a corporate subscription to ISC publications for the college, but according to Janke Alderson was concerned that, ‘on the face of it ISC would appear to others as very right-wing.’  Janke reassured Alderson that ISC was an academic outfit and was financially independent and ‘unattached to any political or government body’. <ref>‘How to win friends’, ''The Guardian'', 16 July 1976</ref> Alderson was later promoted to assistant commissioner at Scotland Yard and stayed in touch with ISC.  His successor at the college declined to take out a corporate subscription after consulting the Home Office but agreed to continued lectures. <ref>‘How to win friends’, ''The Guardian'', 16 July 1976</ref>

 Analysis of the Institute's own correspondence from the documents leaked to ''Time Out'' revealed that most of the evidence for the anti-left allegations came from the files of well-known and widely disregarded right-wing organisations.
