[Tfug] Scripting Question

If I'm a superlazy user and want a keyboard shortcut to run a pair of
scripts that contain commands that require the superuser's priveleges,
what's a safe way to do that? For example, a script that is only
executable, not readable or writeable, and contains commands such as mount
but is able to run via a user who is not root. Or is this a super
horrible idea for some reason?
I don't want to have to login in as superuser, I don't want to have to
enter a password, or sudo, etc.
I just want to press a button to unlock/lock a set of files and
directories by umounting and chmoding them after backing them up; so the
unlocking script wil contain mount, chmod, etc. and the locking script
will contain cp, chmod ,umount, etc.
Thanks,
charles
