I have updated this machine running rawhide and I still see many of these. Did they not get fixed with the new selinux-policy?
Summary SELinux is preventing python (cupsd_config_t) "read" to 003 (usb_device_t).
Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by python. It is not expected that this access is required by python and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for 003, restorecon -v 003 If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

Might not the new policy have been updated?
Thanks,
