The New York City subway feud of backpackers v. non-backpackers has been bubbling below the surface for a while now, and MTA board member Charles Moerdler brought it into the limelight during a meeting on Monday when he proposed a backpack ban. He quickly backtracked, though (a classic backpack backtrack) saying, "There is nothing obnoxious about a backpack. What is obnoxious about it is when ... the person hits you in the kisser with it." Right, backpacks don't hit people, people hit people. With their backpacks. [NY1]
