permissions on usb device for scanner too restrictive

[Brian J. Murrell]

When I try to use xsane as the logged in user, I can select my scanner but when I try to scan I get a I/O Error. If I simply use sudo to run xsane it works perfectly.

If I use sudo to change the permissions of /proc/bus/usb/002/002 to 666 it works as a regular user.
