/sys/block contains data about block devices. A file named 'removable' contains 
1 if it is removable devices. You can build upon this basic find and grep.

find . -name '*remov*' -exec grep -l 1 {} \;

This one lists cd drives also. It will show event umounted one. It will be 
interesting to expand this script, to omit such devices.
