From Weer'd Beard, concerning the ATF's involvement in cigarette smuggling activities in order to entrap criminals - following which they can't account for millions of dollars and tens of millions of smuggled cigarettes:

simply a criminal organization with arrest powers.
I can only say that in my (not inconsiderable) experience, the opinions of the ATF expressed by agents of other Federal law enforcement agencies are frequently unprintable. Draw your own conclusions.
