      Now a traditional wireless audit would be easy.  I could report
the signal strengths of our devices, if the SSID's are correct, are
non-broadcast, etc.  That would be an easy report to create after data
collection.  In this case, I am trying to prove a negative.  I can list
networks, signal strengths, etc. but I feel like I am fluffing the
report with meaningless and time wasting statistics.  Does anyone have
any experience in what they would report under these circumstances?

I'd think the strongest statement you could make would be that, at a
given date and time, no 802.11x broadcast sources were detected from
within a given facility.
