I concur. While I bring a "burner" phone and laptop, it's more so I have a scratch system I can play / experiement on than any real fear that a sensibly configured device is going to get pwned. I used my real phone and laptop during Defcon 27 last week, too. I do have bluetooth off, and I made sure I had no filesharing enabled, and the latest patches, etc.)

I've been to about 10 defcons, and I've never had a device pwned that wasn't a spare device I was playing with.
