Comment 123 for bug 1067876

I reported that to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695281 some days ago. It seems to me that either many USB sticks are lying and claim that they have removable media, or it's a bug in the kernel driver that sets "removable=1" for them.

Nrbtx, note that it's not quite dangerous -- devices are still "eject"ed, which means unmounting everything and releasing the media. The actual USB device remains powered up, but that's not a concern for data safety.
