Turns off any TV remotely and discreetly.

TV-B-Gone is a universal remote that turns off almost any television. The device, which looks like an automobile remote, has just one button. When activated, it spends over a minute flashing out 209 different codes to turn off televisions, the most popular brands first.

It cost only $14.99 and attaches to your keychain.
I already own it!! I tried turning off a television in Seattle - Tacoma airport but it wouldn't work. I even got up pretty close...no one was around. The thing with the CNN TVs is that they are completely covered...so the IR port is not showing. This TV in particular was mounted up high so I couldn't change the angle of attack so to speak with my TV B Gone. Have you had luck turning off a CNN Airport TV?
