my first impressions were lunatics that hunted witches in the middle ages shouldn't be allowed near computer equipment at all ever.

Until I read your post I thought what they had done was an overkilled overkill. But, now that you've made me rethink this I suppose with the quality of espionage gear there is out there now, the only way to be truly sure you're totally clean, is the ultimate clean - destruction. Especially so for a Government agency.
