CO Any one else had trouble bringing a turbo on a plane?

Ok so, I guess This doesnt have to do much with rx7, but im pissed, anyways.
A while back I bought a tdo5h with plans to turbocharge my rx7, I posted thread asking about any suggestions, turns out it's way to small.
So I have this really good turbo, new oil lines, boost gauge etc.
I though about my VW bug and my dacia logan, that I have in mexico.
since I was planning on going back to Mexico for a vacation, I thought, i was going to turbo one of those two cars.

I put everything in a suitcase with some clothes, I did think it might look kinda weird on the x-rays or something, but anyways, as I lifted my suitcase I noticed, it was really light, I opened it up and everything was gone.

Does any one know if these kind of thing are not allowed, or did i get ripped off by the staff?????

Give them a call. I am sure they will take the missing item very seriously and will look into it immediately.
