Predictably, the bag checks in NYC subways are affecting one group in particular: Craigslisters. An always vocal, typically anonymous group, the patriots on everyone's favorite site-of-al-trades will NOT take these bag checks without contributing their running commentary:

What would I be embarrassed about the cops finding?
Why that would be my Don Johnson CD from '85 that I listen to religiously every morning. Fuckin' cops better not even think about taking Donnie away from me and yes I am 100% straight and feeling so bloated this morning!

Or:

I guess the thing that scares me about all of these security procedures is that we are slowly turning into this country that doesn't seem like "America" It reminds me of the book 'Animal Farm' by Orson Welles.

Uh-huh. After the jump, more genius commentary and insight from the best of New York's denizens, many of whom are beginning to resemble communist barnyard animals.

How ridiculous, for the cops to "pretend" to really search blue-eyed, blonde haired little miss jane corporate america, while they allow Mohammed with the huge backpack on his back to sail through the turnstyles, because to do otherwise wouldn't be PC. or to "pretend" to search blue-eyed jane corporate america, while at the same time stopping mohammed to search him. why not just be honest about it, that the only reason they are searching "Jane", is to make Mohammed feel better, so he won't THINK they profiled him.

What's the difference between having your bags searched at a subway station and having them searched at the airport????????? Don't you understand that this city is a TARGET?

Come on idiots——your liberal bullshit is making NYC more dangerous and vulnerable for the rest of us...you FUCKING ASSHOLES. I really hate you nitwits.

It is about the government using the excuse of terrorism to trample on the rights of the people and put big brother closer and closer to reality. How many terrorist attacks have there been in the USA since 2001?? How many? Oh, lets see, ZERO.

New York is the biggest fucking shithole dump in the country!

The REAL way to secure our subways:
Search all the Muslims.
You KNOW it's true.

I hope it doesn't take nyc suffering another deadly terrorist attack for you people to get it. sacrifice some of your fucking privacy if you want to be safe. Freedom isn't free, jackasses, people die for it, and if you can't open your lousy bag for an officer and maybe be 3 seconds later to work in the morning, then go somewhere else. we don't need you here. The only reason you have civil rights to begin with is because someone fought & died in a bloody war for them. Get a clue.

FUCK YOU BLUE PIG ASS BROWN SHIRT NAZI BITCHES. I HOPE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY REVOLT AND CHOKE YOU WITH THEIR BACKPACK STRINGS YOU HALF A BITCHES.I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FIRST OF U FACIST'S TO ASK TO LOOK IN MY BAG SO I CAN TELL U TO SUCK MY DDDDDDIIIIIIIICCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.....FROM NOW ON EVERY TIME ONE OF YOU SUMRF LIKE NIPPLEHEADS COMES IN MY SHOP IM GOING TO SPIT IN YOUR COFFEE AND PUT MOUSE TURDS IN IT....I SWEAR THIS.
