Thanks to Matt Cruz for his reporting.

I'm so glad the U.S. didn't announce that Osama bin Laden was dead until later tonight. I had to go right past the White House tonight coming from Silver Spring (to drop our wonderful, terrific, fantastic Editor Erica at home) to get to the 48hfp drop-off event. The crowds gathering outside of the White House may have caused a problem for me.
