Unpaid TSA Agents Blast Kanye in Protest at JFK
Several passengers flying through John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) have taken to social media to comment on the colorful song choices by Transportation Security Administration employees who do not have access to full and regular paychecks during the current government shutdown, but who do have access to the airport’s loudspeakers.
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.

TSA employees are not "underpaid". They are part of the government employees who are impacted by the partial government shutdown and are not receiving any pay at the moment but will receive back pay for all hours worked during the partial government shutdown. Maybe these TSA employees would have better success calling, writing, and picketing Congress.
Message is "please fire us?'
I landed in LGA on Friday night and there was no music played for my arrival / my luggage pickup @ carousel.
Misleading headline is misleading.
