You should be aware that bash doesn't run the script as root when
suided. It uses the caller uid.
>From the man page:
Invoked with unequal effective and real UID/GIDs
If Bash is started with the effective user (group) id not equal to the
real user (group) id, and the -p option is not supplied, no startup
files are read, shell functions are not inherited from the
environment, the SHELLOPTS variable, if it appears in the environment,
is ignored, and the effective user id is set to the real user id. If
the -p option is supplied at invocation, the startup behavior is the
same, but the effective user id is not reset.
