Pull the seatpost and hang the bike upside down at various angles to drain any 
water that may be inside. If you have the tools, you may also pull the crank/BB 
to check for rust. Grease the seatpost and BB threads liberally before 
reinstallation.
Internal rust is usually more of a theoretical concern than a real-world 
problem. A thin film of rust on the inside of your frame is normal and doesn't 
mean your frame is going to die at an early age. Thick rust deposits around the 
BB are usually a sign of longterm neglect of basic maintenance, but are 
probably treatable. I don't generally bother with frame saver on my own bikes 
because it adds too much weight, but I usually pre-emptively address potential 
customer panic by fogging every frame/bike we sell.
