I think that total only includes those that have pulled stock certs or have directly registered their shares through the capital transfer agency. After the mf global scandal, it might not be a bad idea to contact the transfer agent and do direct registration with them, so the shares are held in your name and not in street name. Also contact your broker and make sure you are a cash account and not margin, if you don't use that feature. Shares held in margin accounts can be lent out.
