What is the most hated federal agency to you guys?

Tie between all the ones with three letters

TBH my interactions with the state of Louisiana have invariably been more tedious and frustrating than the feds. I may not like what the feds tell me but I can usually get a straight answer. It's a crapshoot with the state whether somebody knows what they're talking about or gives enough of a frick to return my emails.

oof tough call

all of them

Side of the road, middle of the night encounter with a local Deputy or other well-armed power-hungry bigot-bully. Remote location would make it even worse.

It would be much less stressful if the FBI flipped open a badge on me. Middle of the night ATF or DEA visits, often go sour really quickly.

Side issue.

I was the Officer, of regulatory contact for a drug company that made schedule 1 drugs. We were often visited by DEA agents for unannounced checks and paperwork review of batch records, test data and storage security. They always came in groups of two. We had a guy once who kept his hand (casually) on the butt of his Glock (holstered on his hip) the entire time he interviewed me on one visit.

When they left with zero problems noted I asked him when we shook hands goodby in the front office if he always did that. He smiled and said he had no idea what I was talking about. It bothered me enough that I signed a witnessed statement with our corporate lawyer and had the company retain our video tapes of him while we were together in the warehouse, etc.

Yes.

The Bureau Of Indian Affairs -
It's ridiculous to have an agency dedicated to a foreign country and their peoples. For God's sake, they don't even speak English! Sacred cows walking around all day, curry in everything they eat, and forgive me for saying this, but they want to haggle over prices all of the time. Geez...
