Identification Photographs (Rope‑Line)
A narrow stack of glossy candid prints—small 4x6 frames or similar—showing attendees at a public rope line. Edges show finger oils and a few penciled marks; individual faces are grainy but recognizable. Agents fan the photos across a conference table, jab at specific frames, and pass prints hand to hand while murmuring possible identifications, using the physical images as the immediate focus of their search for suspects.

Purpose
To serve as visual identification evidence for investigators and protective agents, enabling face recognition, suspect matching, and rapid operational decisions.
Significance
The photos operate as the scene’s operative proof and catalyst: they concentrate investigative attention, justify Secret Service procedures, and precipitate the terse standoff when C.J. seeks information the Service refuses to disclose—highlighting limits of civilian authority over protectee confidentiality.
