I've seen a lot of this kind of concern, but people should keep in mind that the capitol is already a semi-public space, and is treated as such. The devices I'd really worry about if they were compromised are people's personal phones, which presumably they had on their person.
A note for context: a friend of mine who works in the capitol brought me along one day and asked me to wait in the minority leader's antechamber (a large room like a hotel conference room) for a few minutes while a vote was called. There were various bits of CAT-5 sticking out of the wall and I was unsupervised for nearly a half hour. Various people came and went and paid me no heed. I can't imagine I'm the first or last person to have been in that situation.
TL;DR special secure facilities exist for a reason. The Capitol is used to randos.
