With newer Linux distributions what happens if you connect a hot swappable device such a USB thumb drive containing evidence?

This depends on how the system is configured. By default on most systems, the drive will be detected and probed for the identity of the file systems on the drive, but the drive will not be mounted. It is possible to configure the system to automatically mount the drive by adding an entry in /etc/fstab. I'm not an expert in computer forensics, but if the drive uses a journaling file system (most do not), you may want to avoid mounting the disk; this will cause the journal to be replayed if drive was not previously unmounted properly, and will discard potential data that was not properly committed to the journal.
