I think this is a very bad suggestion. He didn't say "my user" he said
"world readable." While we're in the Bad Suggestion Dept. why not just
tell him to set all his binaries that need acces to the device suid root?

The operator group isn't intended to be a group-that-can-read-CDs. There
is a reason DevFS has rulesets, and this is one of them.
