Shadi was taken into an interview room where she told Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials she was transgender, explaining ‘That’s my penis’.

TSA staff then told her she needed to pass through the full body scanner as a male.

Shadi told The Daily News: ‘I’m embarrassed about it. It is just a coincidence that I got a pat down for my genitals, then I had the worst agent and then I tested positive for explosives.’
