udev rules

Hi
i teach computer science in a high school and i want to use some pc 
supporting ubuntu or other linux version; 
from a security point of view i want 
to prevent students from using usb flash devices to copy files from pc or 
to 
copy files in the pc. 
I wrote this kind of rule for udev (i named it 10-
chiavetta-usb.rules)

ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", 
ATTRS{removable}=="True", ATTRS{product}=="?*", NAME="chiavettausb%k", 
GROUP="
root" OWNER="root"

but it has a strange behavior: when an unprivileged user 
(as ubuntu define it) insert a usb flash device the system mount it and 
create 
the directory with the owner the current user (not root as specified by the 
udev rule) and when inserting a second usb flash device the system create 
the 
directory but with root as owner denying the access to the user: i want 
that 
each inserted usb flash device cannot be mounted by the unprivileged user.


What is wrong with my udev rule? I am new with linux and system 
administration.


Thanks a lot, andrea
