I think it could be either:

cia

nsa

(Other definitions for cia that I've seen before include "American organisation for national security" , "US spy bureau" , "US investigative organisation" , "Famous American intelligence agency, advises President" , "Secret service agency of USA" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Washington Post, the Newsday.com, the New York Times, the L.A. Times Daily and the Universal.
