Are we sure that the government agency really understood what happened here? It may be that a single laptop was doing a file vault update or something, and they jumped all over the place.

Yeah, we're pretty sure... if you read the article, you might be, too: multiple laptops and cell phones were remotely rebooted via the remote management facility at the same time (10:40), leaving them in an encrypted and unlockable state.

Commenters seem to think their servers were being remotely encrypted as well, but I didn't see any info to that effect.
