Yeah, because most gold mining companies with multimillion dollar gold claims on the line are engaged in espionage.

The paranoia is beyond stupid. I'm reminded of a guy from my town, San Diego, who worked for Qualcomm and who got arrested for espionage in Russia. His crime was he was working to construct the cell phone network the Russian government hired Qualcomm to build. A local Russian engineer who was pissed off that a foreign expert who actually had experience with the equipment got hired instead of him turned in his name to the FSB. That's right, the guy got arrested for working on a cellphone tower the Russian government hired him to work on. Stupid.
