I've always treated them as such in my posts, at least to the same extent the FBI and CIA are public anyways.

Yeah, that's been the understanding on which I've operated. SHIELD is like the CIA: People know it exists, and they have [i]some[/i] understanding of what they're about, but the layperson doesn't exactly know what they do.
