More specifically, why don't you use automounter for this ? The
automounter can be programmed to run a certain script before and after
mounting. This can automate a number of things. You could refine it to the
point where pulling the USB key would close your session, and putting it
in would start it.

The FS on the pen drive can be vfat, so that other os can read it. Linux
handles vfat just fine.
