I may be incorrect here, it's been a while since I've poked aunord with WPA but I was under the impression that if one knew the pre-shared password to a WPA network that it is possible to decrypt the traffic of any clients who connect /after/ you have started sniffing. If I recall correctly, it is necessary to capture the four-way handshake between the AP and device to be able to decrypt the traffic. Such a handshake can be forcefully induced by a malicious user by injecting deauth packets, forcing all clients to reconnect allowing the handshake to be captured.Indeed, this appears to be supported by the fact that aircrack-ng can decrypt a capture (assuming the handshake is available) without requiring any information other than the pre-shared key/password and SSID (which is used as a salt). If this is correct then the technique you present is not all that helpful: a malicious user just needs to integrate an open source package such as aircrack-ng into FireSheep in order to be back in business.
