Yeah - the Chillean version of the TSA took an 18" moai from me for the same reason. It was supposed to be checked in some special way or something. Net, net, it did not arrive in Tahiti with us - never got it back totally screwed by LAN Chile. No $$. No nothing. SOL. Fortunately, I contacted our Innkeeper & her daughter was willing to go to the carver we purchased it from (at the prison) to make another & they shipped it to me. Better than nothing, by far, but I wish I had the first one I picked out!
