This sounds a bit bizarre to me. Took a few seconds to find a large pool of monitors designed for travelling. https://www.techradar.com/news/best-portable-monitor 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.
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

The older I get, the more I learn this lesson.
The author had a preference for larger monitors over ease of transport, but if you're willing to sacrifice screen size, you can cram desktop components into a standard briefcase pretty easily.

Well in that case it works. Last generation integrated GPU can handle 2 4K monitors at 60/s or 3 full hd at 60/s if I remember correctly
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.
I came back from a tech event once with a build a robot kit, except I'm a very light packer and the box was huge so I had to take everything out and fit it into a backpack along with everything else I had.
I had a compartment that had an assortment of circuit boards, screws, wires, plastic pieces, etc..
No one even batted an eye and the bag went straight through the carry on x-ray machine. This was in San Jose, California while preparing for a cross country flight. I was surprised too.
Why do you even need 3 monitors? That seems excessive.
I just carried it on.
It was enormous - 4U and full length - and weighed a ton.
No packaging, no box - just carrying a huge server down the aisle of the plane ...

It's surprising at how little this matters.
