so as much as possible, buy the things in america. because airport is that crazy. they will flip out if you bring something as measly as a bottle of shampoo.
Dude, they will take things if they are still boxed and stuff!! but if its a camera that you have used, they will not take it... Otherwise, if you leave american with a camera and come back with it, they could take that one as well!!! It's to do with import taxes. Thats why they can confiscate things! BUT if its used, and its your personal property, they will not!
