Lock was TSA compatible. TSA always puts a notice when they go through your stuff.
The lock was very decent.

Wouldn't the iphone be worth more than 4x $60 bitfury chips? I mean, we're talking about an elaborate heist for a couple hundred bucks... if that's the plan, why not go for more? Doesn't add up.
more like 4x $20 chipsIf they were lost after you arrived in the US, it is possible the TSA might have randomly searched the luggage and taken the chips because they couldn't figure out what they were. Usually they leave a notice in the suitcase when they do this kind of thing, but not always.
Sounds very probable. If the lock was not "TSA Compatible" they would likely cut it without hesitation.This. Is it that strange to think that customs would cut your lock yto check the bags (they do this dozens or hundreds of times a day) and either the chips slipped out (they are small) or were simply seized because of an arbitrary rule (seeing unidentifiable computer chips is a red flag IMO)
I think its safe to say your chips were not STOLEN, as though some creeper decided your bag was worth breaking into at the airport, and stealing <$100 worth of chips that have no use without a dozen other components and a PCB
Either an inside job (someone you know) or you lost them (most common when things go missing.) No way a random thief would take chips they have no idea what they do and leave valuable resell-able electronics.
...or maybe they did know what it was and were counting on that reasoning to mask the theft. "Customer support: Your iphone was there? oh! Not theft then for sure, who would NOT steal an iphone, right?". Easy theft.

TSA is probably the most likely scenario and, sadly, the chips might not be recoverable if a notice wasn't left. I would suggest the OP call up the TSA and see what can be done.

Do they cut locks?
Yeah, I have had locks cut on my cases when traveling abroad but I had a a notice left in my case saying they searched it. They took out a bottle of shower gel for some strange reason....

Seems strange nothing else was stolen....
I was gonna say he's lost them, but it doesn't explain the lock being cut
Or, the luggage handling machine managed to snap/break/whatever the lock, and the chips fell out because the package was small, while the larger things didn't?
Sounds too far fetched that a thief only would steal some chips... 4 chips cost, what, 60 euros at the moment...

how much did you pay for the chips?
so the camera, laptop and iPhone isn't missing?
No. Only chips.

Mhm.... strange.
So only the chips were stolen?
On Wednesday, October 30th 2013 I was leaving from Russia going to USA from DME airport. In my checked in luggage I had 4 chips right next to a camera, laptop and an iPhone. A lock was cut and chips went missing. There was 4 of them, in the original package.
I hope that you and your kids get cancer. I hope it would be slow and very painful, following by painful death. I hope that human genome would clear itself from such assholes like you. Folks are paying $100 for extra bag so airline companies can pay your salary. I refuse to finance you and I will take it to the Lufthansa. I hope they trace you and cut your balls off.

Just FYI.
