On: Osama bin Laden was found because his family hung their clothes out to dry

The clothesline was only a clue, they didn't rely on it:

"But the final clue was the clotheslines on the compound, which flapped each day with women’s garments, shalwar kameez worn by Pakistani men, children’s outfits and diapers — far more than the 11 members of the bodyguards’ families could ever wear."

Perhaps you only read the title? because I agree it's a clickbait.

>Perhaps you only read the title?

Besides the clothelines, I mention two other things that are in the article only.

Perhaps you've only skimmed my comment? :-)
