Considering how many Agents and INI folks that have TAS Membership or Fellowship, the Travellers' Aid Society might very well be the place to get all the good terrorist intel. :devil:
TAS has a very long history of employing government security/intelligence operatives... back to the early period of Terran spaceflight!

As some here know, I was in the USMC from 1981-1989. In the first half of 1986 I was assigned temporary duty to Headquarters Squadron*, Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, Ca.
I was sent to work in the ID/Pass section, issuing ID cards and access passes for military, dependents, and civilian contractors.
One day two men in camouflage utilities came in carrying suits, and changed into them in our records room. They then got their pictures taken while I typed out base access cards for them... which listed them as civilian employees of
Travelers Aid Society, Inc..
The names seemed familiar to me, and after they left I looked in our logs from a couple of weeks earlier... and there they were.
They were active-duty US Marines, and two weeks earlier I had issued them access passes for the base Intelligence offices, in accordance with an authorization letter that had been issued by the Naval Intelligence office on base, which is why I remembered them.
