If you are really paranoid, you can set up OpenVPN on your home system and use it as a VPN host - downside is you need to leave the home PC & broadband on to connect to it.
ElReg did an article about setting up OpenVPN.
Or you could sign up for a cheap commercial VPN.
But as Rob says while public WiFi is 'unsafe' it's a very small risk.
