Former hill staffer here. Aaron is spot on. This is absolutely reconnaissance. I know where every single one of these photos is, and it's checkpoint access to routes into the Capitol. This is a logistics and planning trip for a breach.

I am immediately convinced that this is reconnaissance. He's taking pictures of the entry points around the security checkpoint to the Cannon Tunnel, which connects the House Office Buildings to the U.S. Capitol
