I'm under the impression that if you apply for even low level positions in the CIA, NSA, etc. they interview almost everyone who ever knew you well. The article says that they are a "middle class" family. I guess in current parlance that means families with a net worth between 1 and 10 million dollars and who are headed only by deputy directors. This seems to be a "rank has its privileges" situation.
