Mounting device using UUID by non-root

[Geoffrey Leach]

Suppose I have a USB stick with UUID 1234. I am able to mount it as root
    # mount UUID=1234 /Media
or as a non-root user
    % sudo  mount UUID=1234 /Media
unsafe!

Question: is there any way to perform the mount (from the command line)
without the sudo?

Thanks.

Add a line to /etc/fstab, specifying 'user' as one of the mount
options.

And, if you don't want it mounted at boot, put in noauto as well.
