By the way: /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules contains

	# optical drives
	SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="1", TAG+="udev-acl"

but nothing like the following.

	# removable disks
	SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{removable}=="1", DRIVERS!="aacraid", TAG+="udev-acl"
	SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb|ieee1394|mmc|pcmcia", TAG+="udev-acl"

I am not sure what consolekit could do.
