I'll be honest Robbie, I haven't sniffed an SSL packet in a long time;
but since we can both agree that the FCC regulates radio (Layer 1/Link
Layer - 802.11) and not Layers 2 and above, going backwards through the
OSI/DARPA Model, we find the radio transmission at Layer 1, which is not
obscured, nor is: Layer 2,3,4,5, 6 or 7 in the beginning and not 2,3,and
4 after SSL begins (Link, Internet and Transport layers in the DARPA
model are unencrypted).
The communication itself (802.11 frame) and the facilities sending it
(all contained in layers 2,3), and the meaning (in Layer 4) are never
obscured.
