FINRA is a self-regulatory organization, not a government agency.

Oh. Wargames. I don't think I've heard of that agency since I saw Wargames.

NORAD is not a US Government Agency. It is a bi-national agreement between the US and Canada and the US portion falls under DoD.

FDIC and USPS also are not government agencies. They are government-owned corporations. The first sentence on the Wikipedia entry on the topic includes the phrase "unlike the federal agencies." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-owned_enterprises_of_the_United_States

REALLY tough if you're not American, or North American. Got 7, missed two I should have known and two more I had heard of. The rest are all new to me.

This was a little tricky, some of the acronyms are extremely commonly used (FBI, CIA, etc.) so much so that you rarely hear the full name. Others though I've never heard referenced by their acronym (National Institutes of Health and Bureau of Labor Statistics) for example.

I checked. Found some vague poorly supported allegations. Gonna need you to be more specific.

I tried ATF for drug trade and ATC for air traffic control.

I tried ATF as well. I am sure there is a difference between ATF and DEA, but this is a good example of how the government agencies overlap. I wonder how much tax money would be saved if government agencies didn't overlap and they were run efficiently?

I guess the difference is that ATF regulates things that can kill you but are still somehow legal.

Love the quiz. Could add ATF, ICE, FEMA, NOAA, NHC, USGS, BLM, NTSB. Probably a bunch more. Maybe the yellow box would make it better? Not sure.
