DEA stands for Drug Enforcement Administration, the part of the government that pursues people trafficking in illegal drugs.

The poor daft woman doing the crossword puzzle confused DEA with ATF (U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms).

Nothing like mixing things up! Kinda like hitting the nail square between the eyes. ;)

Ah thanks for that :) Also makes things a little easier now when watching some American shows that don't explain the abbreviations.
Thanks :)
