A comment on The FBI Has Collected DNA Profiles for 21M People. Parent comment
There are three main meanings:
1) "New Deal agencies"
2) "Since the 1990s, the term "alphabet agencies" has been commonly used to describe the agencies of the U.S. national security state."
3) Any government agency or cabinet department known by its initialism.
From context, #2 seems the most likely.
If #3, no more NASA. No more FAA. No more NOAA.
