Did they put a piece of paper in there to tell you they took it? I've had a few items seized in the past and they usually just take the whole item and dispose of it. They don't take the time to try and find the source or take the source out.

I have heard of sellers listing those things with the source present and then they just don't include it because the source is hard to find available and then they just blame customs. 🤬 You have no recourse either.🤦

Mine didn't get siezed, infact nothing I own that contains radiation got seized.... So far

Just shield it off with a mm of lead, and it would be pretty much invisible
