I'm personally interested in conveying more clearly, to our users, the
message that "plugging one's Tails device in an untrusted OS is
dangerous" [1]. I think that detecting the presence of .DS_Store files
and friends on a started Tails is a good trigger to educate the user
a bit about it. It's easy to implement, and seems to be good enough,
so any other proposal will need to be better.

Detecting hidden partitions was also proposed back then, but I don't
know what problem it is meant to address (and I don't see how it can
help address the problem mentioned above), so I'm afraid I can't
comment further on this topic with the info I currently have.

Here again: can you please describe what problem these proposals
are tackling?
