The last part of the error message you quoted states: ...with ("checkPermission") or explicitly handle a potential "SecurityException"

A much quicker/simpler way of checking if you have permissions is to surround your code with try { ... } catch (SecurityException e) { [insert error handling code here] }. If you have permissions, the 'try' part will execute, if you don't, the 'catch' part will.
