The FBI (and even the IRS) uses "agents" so I assume people extrapolated use of the term to all three-letter agencies.

Random aside, but ATF field personnel used to be 'Inspectors' and we had a pretty good working relationship during annual inspections and so on.

Sometime in the Post-9/11 era they transitioned to 'Investigators' and the majority of them got a big stick up their rear ends and it has become a trying, adversarial relationship every time they come out.
