Marcus, then you better run quickly and complain to the udev folks,
because they have been shipping udev with libusb devices accessible to
console users sine about forever. Just plug in a USB scanner on a
reasonably new Linux machine and run "ls -al /dev/bus/usb/*/*". Then,
look out for the "+" in the permissions column and run getfacl on that
file, and you'll see that the logged in user may access the device
node.

But all of this has nothing to do with PA. So please go away, and
complain elsewhere.
