I'm not sure if this counts as smart, but I have a file
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-libusb.rules with the following content for exactly
this purpose:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", GROUP="usb", MODE="0664"
Every user belonging to group "usb" is then able to do with a USB
device what he needs to do.
