If you took a full-frontal photo of her and then drew two bands that totaled
26 cm in height across the photo representing her clothing - she would be
decently dressed (just!)

Subject: [USMA:49033] Interesting metric quote in TSA screening story

"I had 26 centimeters of clothing to be examined," the woman, 
52-year-old Tammy Banovac, a one-time Playboy model, reportedly told 
KFOR.com.

My curious mind wonders just how this woman measured the "length" of her 
clothing. I would have expected perhaps a measurement in square 
centimeters. Or even in grams.

But I applaud her for using metric units! Even if she had merely been 
facetiously using an invented measurement.
