There is a large attack surface difference between mounting a device
that someone physically plugged into the computer (and note typically
it's required that the active console be unlocked as well[1]) versus
allowing any "unprivileged" process at any time to do it.

Many server setups use "unprivileged" uids that otherwise wouldn't
be able to exploit bugs in filesystem code.

[1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653520
"AutomountManager also keeps track of the current session availability
(using the ConsoleKit and gnome-screensaver DBus interfaces) and
inhibits mounting if the current session is locked, or another session
is in use instead."
