System Events always asks for a user password

There is no reason for System Events to require a password, since the user can make the change manually without one. This is very annoying!

Does anyone know a way around this problem?

I'm surprised that the Universal Access pane of System Preferences does not ask for a password. I discussed the System Events password issue with Apple several years ago, and Apple was adamant that enabling access for assistive devices presents a security issue. I used to disagree with Apple's position, but I don't any longer.
