At least for the CD-ROM case, you might want to consider adding the
"user" option to your /etc/fstab for your CD-ROM devices:

/dev/cdrom  /cd  iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide,nosuid  0  0

...presuming there is nobody malicious enough on your system to
keep unmounting a disc you are trying to use (or put their own
version at the mount point :-).
