I do a 'dmesg | tail' shortly after having inserted the stick. Then
I can see the noise the kernel is making after "seeing" it.

If you want to tweak what happens after inserting an USB, you might
want to tweak the udev rules (for example, I had a backup script
fire up automatically at a customer's when a disk with the right label
or UUID was inserted).

Felix's approach is, of course, much more elegant to see what is
there, since it doesn't rely on dmesg not having flown by...
