[SOLVED] Prevent a specific USB key from mounting ?

Hi,

I have a USB key containing my keyfile to decrypt my hard disk. I'd like to prevent it from being mount by any user except root (to prevent a malicious script running at startup and dumping it or so).

My problem is that I can specify it in the fstab directly because it is a removable device and the kernel may drop to emergency mode if I put it there. Or maybe there's some option which I don't know ?

Thanks
