What type of pen test are you referring to?  Network, wireless and/or
RFID, voip, app, social, etc?  From what you are asking it seems more
like a social engineering exercise but even that is far fetched (as
for using sonic ear devices).  Now using multiple laptops (ie 2) is
often used during internal or wireless engagements and especially
pda's for wireless.  As for rollup keyboards they are not needed but i
guess they might be useful for a pda instead of using the qwerty
keypad.

What do you carry with you when you are on the job?  I watched a video
from Iron Geek showing multiple laptops, PDAs, etc and I was curious
what items you have found to be important when going on the job.  In
movies they show the glitz and glamor side of things with rollup
keyboards and gadgets most people probably don't need, but do any of
those things come in handy often enough to take them?

At the risk of being laughed at have you heard of people going as far
as bringing sonic ear type devices or similar surveillance devices to
pull information that way?

Please keep in mind I am very new to the world of pen testing so I
really don't know what situations you can get into other than what I
have heard, but I also heard the world was flat.
