Evan: Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Paul: Not allowing capturing on USB to a regular user is intentional. Keep in 
mind that keyboards and storages can be attached via USB and in those cases the 
user would be allowed to read any file on the attached storage
or log  keys. Wireshark 1.6.5-2 or 1.6.6-1 will contain an updated 
README.Debian covering capturing USB packets.
