This book covers how to stay anonymous on the Internet. Although I think the steps here will be outdated within the year, it is a good review of how to stay anonymous and with it, secure.
Mitnick discusses how Tor works and how to get connected. He also discusses encryption of your files, mail and hard drives. He discusses the laws in some countries and how they can compel you to unlock your devices. One of the examples is that when you land from traveling abroad, ensure that you reboot your phone and NOT enter you (hopeful 6 digit) iPhone pass code. This will make it impossible for them to use your fingerprint to unlock the device. That could be weather or not you are conscientious. Also do the same with the laptop.
He also talks about traveling and staying in a hotel. If at all possible get some FedEx boxes to store your laptop in. You can purchase some tamper resistant labels for ~ $14.00 at Amazon. Use the stickers after sealing the FedEx box with your equipment and place a tamper resistant label on it. (Note: Do not leave new labels in your bag or in the room).
All-in-All this book is great. If you like InfoSec, than you will probably like this book. Warning: It is written for more novice users, so don't be expecting heavy, heavy tech.
