I'd love an enhancement where sudo can authorize by tty. Examples: 
 
- give users with physical access to a machine additional privileges. 
- add security by combining timestamp authorizations with ttys, effectively 
  causing a sudo of a user on one tty to still require authorization on any 
  other tty. This will *greatly* enhance security.

You can already do per-tty timestamps, see the tty_tickets sudoers option.
