A notepad and paper for taking quick scratch notes, then my MacBook
and its power cord.  I use Parallels Desktop to run BackTrack2,
OpenBSD and Windows 2000 (and thus, all of the tools I would want as a
pentester).  If I'm feeling spunky, I'll bring my wireless mouse
along.  Nothing more.  I've occasionally needed to use my USB keychain
to copy some quick files or information from a client during an
engagement, but unless the situation calls for a bunch of other stuff,
I like to go minimalist.
