If you check the logs all at once, as part of a daily routine, then you only have to type the password one time, at the beginning of your log-checking session. The second, third, fourth, etc. sudo commands will all use the cached credentials that you supplied the first time. You might also consider adding "tom" to the "adm" group, so that "tom" can read most of the system log files without needing sudo.
