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. :)
