Look what the cat dragged in - :

A solution would be to turn the pc, you get assigned, into a wireless
router and access the net from your laptop through the router. You
would need to do this however without installing any network drivers.
The machines are pretty much locked down and do not allow driver
installs.

Why not just use "the pc, you get assigned"?

Lots of reasons; e.g.,
Possible keylogger
Lack of personal data files.
etc.

I never ever use public computers for anything the least bit sensitive.

indeed. Most of my work I can do off-line as soon as I synced my e-
mail, blogs, etc.. but for this you need to get your own laptop
connected to the net . Also security is really a big issue, the
question is not if your passwords gets compromised, but when! I always
checked the date I last logged into my email and in the 3 month
traveling I had to change it five times. Worse was when they got the
password of the site I was maintaining and put it full of nasty
exploits at which point it was blacklisted.
