Wow....  :-) :-) 

And did you know that one needs to be part of the "wireshark" group to use 
wireshark
as a normal user?  And, you have to part of the "vboxusers" group to gain 
access to
USB devices when using VirtualBox?

This has nothing to do with selinux.  It is normal unix/linux limiting policy.
