Well - you could issue an error message and die.
Termios operation on stdin(-connected-to-a-tty) do not need /dev/tty, so
there must be some explicit open() somewhere - and if that fails, do not
go on. Without having checked the code, it might be some sort of corner
case ("if this fails we do not have a controlling tty, so use stdin instead
and do not try to turn off echo instead!" - not differenciating between
the error for "no controlling tty" and "broken permissions").
