On the one hand, I don't understand why your wife thought she was going to be able to transport them by hand and didn't just use FEDEX to send them home when even first class still gets plastic cutlery (on those few flights that still serve hot meals). On the other hand, TSA should have given her the option to get them back and NOT go through the security line. It would have been worth the cost of changing her ticket so she had the time to ship them home. I'd have asked to talk to a manager and get names and employee numbers so she could file a report with the TSA IG on what essentially was theft of antique heirlooms.

why would we pay to send it home(and risk losing it that way) when she can just bring the shit with her?

Not to sure about NewArk. But in the rest of the country, they have this thing called INSURANCE to add on to any package sent of value.
