I got one of those camelbacks with pouches, loaded up my goodies in that. (sunscreen, sunglasses case, bandana, camp TP, etc.)
However for foolproof, I made a 12 inch lanyard loop with reflective tent cord (called "trip-light" some camp stores sell it by the foot).. This stuff is bright yellow in daylight and lights up when you put a flash light on it.
I loop this though the beltloop of my pants and put a small zipper pouch with my cash, and my car key on the end, stuff this in my right pocket. I also tie off a small LED flashlight and my lighter on the other pocket.
If I need something I pull out the bundle like a pocket watch, if anything falls out while sitting or dancing, it swings on the cord. If I need to find one of these things in the dark of the tent, I look around with the fashlight and the cord glows.
I believe in the military they calls this an "idiot leash"
A backpack was the way to go last year. Of course I was a volunteer so they didn't check me. I got in tons of food and a good bit of drink, and just spent all day and night away from camp. Now all I need to figure out is how to take a air mattress in there.
Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.

this might sound kinda gross but it really discourges heavy searchs of your bookbag at every festival ive been to. put a bunch of "dirty" looking tissues on top all your stuff in your bookbag. it usually does a good job of keeping the searchers at entry gates from digging to deep in your bag

I've found that a pair of underwear and some sanitary products is also quite an effective deterrent, especially with male searchers.

A year or so ago I asked my girlfriend to sew a zipper into the back pocket of a pair of my jeans and those became my concert pants. However, they have since been lost. I'll have to see if I can get her to do it to one or two pair of shorts for Bonnaroo =)
I don't know if this has been said, but bring a surgical mask to wear in case the dust turns out to be as bad as it was last year. I saw a few people wearing them and they looked to be much better off than those of us burying our faces in our hands
