The problem with your statement is that there's not a single key in use
all the time. Certainly an individual key can be broken given enough
time to brute force it. Of course, by the time the would-be attacker
has done that, your session has most likely been closed for days, and
even still, either end of the connection can request re-keying of the
session key periodically.
