Before the 2001 attacks it was even easier and they still gave tours of the White House and congress buildings As recently as the 1970s and 1980s the whole city was still basically wide open for visitors/tourism for easy access to all the museums and important buildings and security was lax or non existent I’m told. I was born in 1984 and by like 1986 they were already stopping people from entering or at least from driving through some areas of the city but even in the 90s I’m told you could walk right past the White House gates along Pennsylvania Avenue.

[@sylquinn4075]

The Capitol Police partially let the rioters in. Many National Guard units and police units were immobilized due to the shock of the attack and also uncertainty about whose orders to follow (the sitting President's or the Congress leaders'). Police units did arrive but weren't effective in stopping the riot because 2000 people (many armed) were swamping the place.
