If you want to determine if this really is a USB device or not, then you need to look elsewhere in the system, not in /dev.
Out of interest, what is the correct way to determine if a particular device is removable, with hal gone? Is it the DeviceIsRemovable property in DeviceKit/udisk?
Yes, I think it is.
Are you avoiding /sys for some reason? If not, I vote for it being "cat /sys/block/sda/removable". And since /sys is part of the Linux ABI it should be a stable interface. The bigger question is if the data found there is reliable. I don't know. I do know some of the sysfs fields associated with the disks are not reliable (but the existence of the files are stable!).
