Is there a way i can do this? without violating the "normal" security
rules? I mean no changing permissions to the command *tcpdump*.

sudo

Don't forget that by allowing sudo you *can* also allow them to do any
command that normally requires root privileges.  Do this sort of thing
with care (read the guides, test things yourself thoroughly).
