Yes,Yes, a sniffer could be installed, but this assumes your attacker
has physical access to your site. A bigger worry is sniffing on 
any of the networks before you.

If you are working in an environment that needs a higher level of
security than just passwords, run S/Key, or go for the overly expensive
(but easier to use) solution of SecureID.
