Privileged users will definitely want this feature just as much as those
without special permissions. Maybe even more, since they tend to be active more
often. 

If we think privileged accounts need extra session security then we should
enforce that through other means I think, like increased minimum password
lengths/complexity, force use of HTTPS, and so on. 

From a design standpoint, changing the expected behavior (either the length of
the cookie expiration or the visibility of the checkbox) depending on the
user's permissions is awkward. It seems pretty likely to confuse or annoy users
to have logins behave differently depending on account type/permissions.
