Airport officials detains woman after scanner spotted her penis

A transgender woman with the name Shadi Petosky was heading home from a vacation in Orlando, Fla. Monday when she was stopped at the airport, and then detained by Transportation Security Administration agents because of an "anomaly" in her image on an X-ray security scanner. 

 

After a long wait alone in the private room, Shadi says that a TSA agent named "Bramlet" entered the room and asked her to return to the scanning machine "as a man or it would be a problem." 

 

After going through an intensive security search, Petosky had missed her American Airlines flight and needed to re-book. When she attempted to approach the proper gate to do so, a TSA agent allegedly asked her to leave the airport.
Petosky wrote that when she began sobbing, they asked her to get herself together.
