I agree, you should definitely prepare your kids as to what may happen. The second statement is completely wrong however. Children under 12 do not have to go through the scanner. Make sure you're daughter is aware of this, as she may get selected and have to tell the TSO that she is under 12*.

*there are reports of TSOs requiring an ID for this claim. Make sure that she knows that she is exempt with or without an ID
