Doubtful, these guys are pretty good. What is probably more likely is that you are attempting to view a cached SSL 
session which bypasses the full SSL key exchange. I can't remember where in the I saw/heard this, but I can tell you 
from personal experience that Wireshark can only decrypt SSL when the entire key exchange sequence has been captured. 
I'm sure someone on this board who is a lot smarter than me will give you a better way, but I can typically tell if the 
SSL session is cached because the Server Hello packet is approximately the same size as the Client Hello - meaning that 
the certificate was never transmitted. In a full key exchange, the entire certificate is transmitted which typically 
results in  one or more full-sized TCP segments before Wireshark rolls them up into a Server Hello in the Info column.
