Terrorist ID Tape Measure

As depicted in the movie Zero Dark Thirty, the well-equipped Navy SEAL team on a mission to kill Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011 was missing one thing: a tape measure. Without one on hand, a SEAL had to lie down next to the body to make sure its length was about equal to bin Laden’s presumed height. President Obama later joked, “We donated a $60 million helicopter to this operation. Could we not afford to buy a tape measure?” This is that tape measure.
