Lauderdale International Airport. 

McLain claims she was the only person in her group who was selected to go through the body scanner.

McLain says she didn't refuse the procedure, but did have questions. Her questions set off a series events that lead to local police officers and TSA agents ripping up her ticket and escorting the crying young woman out of the airport.
