The important part (where you need sudo) is the importation of the key.
You can wget it as anyone but you need to be root to "install" it. The
pipe to apt-key drops you back to normal user privileges. Try it this
way...

wget -q -O - http://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
