Solve all USB permissions errors

Sometimes I get "permissions denied" errors for USB devices.

Example: avrdude in Arduino.

This is the brute force method to allow all users on a Linux system to use all USB devices:

sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/*/*

TODO: Find an easy way to execute this whenever any USB device is attached.
