See also /dev/disk/by-uuid. The medium may or may not hold a filesystem that has a UUID. In addition you can clone filesystems with dd but reuse them as independent filesystems. Yes, you could checksum parts of the filesystem and say that at some point the user should suffer the consequences of his stupidity, but such things don't belong into the kernel and neither are they specific to USB.
