From the original post:

I use fat16 and fat32 formatted USB flash drives for EXACTLY
ONE purpose.
It is to transfer data to/from a Windows machine.
There is NO [nor will there ever be] a network connection between
them.
When I plug one into my Debian machine I want totally unfettered
read/write access.
[when logged in as root or ANY user ID]
HOW?

I don't see any mention of mounting, thus I conclude he doesn't expect to
mount, i.e., he expects automount.
(When does he expect unfettered access? When he plugs one into his machine,
not after he mounts it.)
(Aside: I should probably avoid posting when I have a significant (or maybe
any) headache...--I apparently get grouchy ;-)
