I don't believe for a second that one out of every 360 people in the US is a spy--that is patently ludicrous.
What I do believe is that perhaps that many do have high level security clearances--sometimes they hand those out (IMO) waaaay to easily.
I'd be real interested in knowing how many of those in that number quoted are actually involved in "spying", and how many are involved in say, working on radar systems of the Apache helicopter, or working as a defense contractor soldering electrical leads in a missile assembly plant somewhere, or working as a security guard watching a doorway as scientists carry in and out pieces of something of which he has no idea about.
Many, many people like that have "high level" security clearances.
The article also quotes that there are 50,000 intelligence reports a year. If 854,000 people in America were actually spies, as the OP states, then some 804,000 of them are doing a really poor job gaining anything to report on...and they would thusly generate an intelligence report stating so. Another reason to doubt the number the OP states.
I can't believe that many are "spies"...I call (respectfully and politely) baloney on the OP's statement that one out of every 360 people here are spies.
I agree that there are not so many spies in this country. Maybe the OP misread something or stumbled upon a propaganda blog of some kind.
