The sniffer must be inside the encryption loop because WEP encrypted packet are not clear text when viewed by a wireless sniffer. That doesnt mean that those packets are safe however. There are programs that given enough packets from your wireless network(encrypted) will find your WEP key (key length is not much of an issue) and then your network is open to this person. WEP is better than nothing but not my a whole lot.
