I would have thought TSA would "x-ray" (or whatever it is they do) through your bag and pull you off to the side for further investigation super quickly.

Nothing quite like partially disassembled, partially glued electronics to tick the box on a security checklist.

"power cable". Author forgot to translate or mistranslated from French.

Pelican case for author & foldable laptop displays as the next innovation for the rest. Nothing like just unfolding additional 7" on both sides of your laptop

Power cord.

I think it's from what it's called in French.

This sounds a bit bizarre to me. Took a few seconds to find a large pool of monitors designed for travelling.

I also don't get the need for an external GPU. Maybe for machine learning it makes sense, but just to drive monitors it sounds excessive.

I'm guessing it's the power cable. The author is not a native English speaker, and Google says alimentation is "the provision of nourishment or other necessities."
