The synchronize pairing of home to extension powerline boxes for the purpose of encryption can be sniffed.  There is a very short window in which you can sniff the key exchange in some of the popular powerline ethernet adapters.  Granted this would be a 10 second window, but if someone were to know when a person is going to pair, approximately then they could decrypt the crypto stream with relative ease, assuming you have some coding skills and a background in cryptography.
