Is there any way to turn off this reqmt?

 On some Linux systems, maybe even typically, permissions are like this
for serial devices:
 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Oct 12 12:07 /dev/ttyUSB0

[ that device does not exist on my installation, but I am part of the dialout group and can access a USB serial port : I vaguely think I might have added myself for that reason]

 So it might be all you need to do is add your user to the dialout
group. Then again, /dev/ttyAMA0 on my Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu
doesn't follow this convention, so YMMV.
