There's always the method connecting an intermediary hub on the switch port as well - if the switch doesn't have a spanning feature. I have a USB-powered hub glued to the back of the laptop for this very purpose.

Encrypted traffic looks different to normal traffic. If they can't decode it\'read' it with ethereal then they will wonder why etc...and if it's part of their job then well, that's what they're meant to do...switches are one way of minimizing sniffing but even then spanning ports can get round this.
