Multiple characters refer to the ATF as Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. In the wake of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 (less than two months after this episode aired), President George W. Bush signed into law the Homeland Security Act of 2002. This, in part, changed the agency's name to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
