Nothing of this tells you if its a thumbdrive or not. I already told you to read the connection type in /dev/disk/by-id.
But actually there is an even easier way, simply read "dmesg" and scan for "USB Mass Storage device detected".

I'll search about /dev/disk/by-id.

FYI, dmesg also doesn't seem to give the mountpoint or device path, so that doesn't seem like a solution either - at least for me on Linux Mint, which is based off Debian/Ubuntu.
