My on-the-spot background check having revealed no outstanding warrants, the Capitol police under the direction of Supervisory Special Agent MCA (Intelligence Section), allowed my 100+ photos & I to go on our merry way. I'm not sure if there was a correlation, but this occurred around the same time that a small plane crashed into a building on Manhattan's East Side. That many photos of a Congressional office building probably arouses suspicion on any day of the year. They were firm, but in the end very polite & even apologetic. Best wishes, gentlemen.
