Predeparture and arrival music is usually prescribed by the airline but 7 years ago I was on an American Airlines flight where a flight attended connected their iPod and blasted Brick House by the Commodores when we touched down.

Now TSA agents are expressing themselves at New York JFK during the government shutdown, while they’re expecting not to be paid until the shutdown ends — though they’re getting some pay anyway, in hopes they’ll show up to work.

Their choice of music is everything.

I was in JFK at 6:30am the other day and they were playing that poopty scoop Kanye song and I felt like I was in the twilight zone

JFK airport carousel blasting “No Sleep Til Brooklyn” at 10:30 PM is kinda alright with me.

the extremely weird feeling when the airport PA is blasting Paramore’s “Misery Business” like it’s a super hot 2007 Friday night at old JFK

According to the Port Authority of New York New Jersey TSA and airlines have control over the loudspeakers.
