While we could ship such a udev rule for udisks, I don't think it will 
properly solve the issue. The device will still show up in nautilus, 
plasma etc and mounting is just an additional click away.

The UI would have to updated to present some kind of information to the 
user, that mounting the FS is potentially unsafe and asking the users 
for extra confirmation.

This would need more design work though and buy in from the desktop 
environments like say GNOME or KDE.

Tagging such FSes via udev rules seems like a reasonable idea though.
