Is that normal, because I'm scanning my own machine, or is my security borked?

It's entirely normal, because you're sniffing traffic on a network that you already hold the key to.

Fire up a linux-live distro with a wireless NIC that supports rfmon mode, then trying to use ethereal. You'll soon discover that you aren't seeing plaintext anymore.

Thanks again
