The divergence to protests gone amok, resulting in destruction of property is an entirely different thing. Many arrests were possible on scene. Most not protestors, but agitators. That action is deplorable, at best, and in every case possible followed up by local authorities to determine, not only involvement, but intent.
The OP may be concerned about those involved with the events at the Capitol but they specifically mentioned "everyone that flew into and out of Washington DC up to a week before and after the terrorist event ." That includes a huge number of people that were not even in DC on the 6th. "Maximum effort," yes, but if we intentionally ignore the Constitution under the guise of defending it then we are no better than those we claim to be defending it from.
