I'd also recommend that you take a laptop that contains nothing you care about. Since if you do get hacked you won't lose anything of value. I believe even Defcon's website recommends you bring a freshly installed computer to save you from the hassle of losing things. Certainly make backup's before you go. :) -- # Curt Micol
