Here is one way to do it.
/etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /media/flash1 auto noauto,user,owner 0 0
Of course this means I have to explicitly mount it. But
when I do, *I* own it, not root.
It is tempting to also use nosuid, but there is a warning on
the mount page.
nosuid Do not allow set-user-identifier or set-group-identifier
bits to take effect. (This seems safe, but is in fact
rather unsafe if you have suidperl(1) installed.)
What the heck is that? I don't seem to have it installed,
but this makes me nervous because I wouldn't necessarily
notice if it came in along with a bunch of other stuff
in an apt-get.

Unless you reformatted the flash drive, very likely the filesystem was
fat or vfat and the files did not contain any ownership or permissions
because the filesystem does not support it.
When a fat/vfat filesystem is mounted on Linux it normally defaults
the ownership to root unless different uid/gid is specified in the
mount command...
