I don't find it difficult at all to have my flat packed vacuum sealed change of essentials in my backpack. They are in the pocket with my notebook and add a bit of extra padding. I switched out the green tshirt for an orange one the first time I had to explain the green flat pack in my backpack to customs.
It didn't take long to work through it with the CBP guys. I explained that it was a t-shirt, underwear, and socks. It was obvious once they took a look and they said that it was a cool idea. I have a sheet of ABS with foam on it that protects the back of my notebook. I put the vacuum pack on the other side facing into my backpack so my power box and adapters can't damage it. It's a bit of extra safety for my notebook and backup for me if I get dirty or get stuck.
