Too many things : already have to be sgid (at least) without making this another reason. You should already be a member of group operator so that you can suspend your machine :-). However, wouldn't it be much simpler and easier to make apm world readable instead? Hmmm, and hack apm.c to open readonly. Hmmm, there are other problems with that since you can do the nasty things... But those should be fixed.
