This would be much better than throwing an error like: 

root required to disassociate
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): permission denied
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/feross/code/SpoofMAC/bin/spoof-mac", line 5, in <module>
    pkg_resources.run_script('SpoofMAC==1.0.0', 'spoof-mac')
  File "/Users/feross/code/SpoofMAC/lib/python2.7/site-packages/distribute-0.6.28-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 499, in run_script
