I believe the answer is:

cia

(Other definitions for cia that I've seen before include "American secret service organisation" , "US government body" , "US intelligence organisation" , "Secret service agency of USA" , "US agency for national security" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate and the USA Today.
