Yes. The problem with any special purpose agency is that they will expand upon and compound their mission to gain more influence, more money, more staff, more "importance".

What's really funny is how they show up to so may fires and mundane explosions. If some sort of industrial process explodes it is a stretch to think that it involved "explosives" in the sense of the ATF's mission.
