Three Letter Agencies are a general category of "spook" agencies, which defend America, but generally act mysteriously. A knock on the door at any hour from any of them should make you want to run for the back door or jump out the nearest window, except it won't help since they're already watching it.

Some are likely to make you disappear. Some may just want to question you. Some, you'll never know about, but they're already watching you. It doesn't matter that you may not have heard of some of them, they already know who you are, who you've dated, and what you ate for breakfast.

ATF - Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

CIA - Central Intelligence Agency

DEA - Drug Enforcement Agency

DHS - Department of Homeland Security

DIA - Defense Intelligence Agency

DOD - Department of Defense
