I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.  EDIT: By golly, you're right. I just looked up my Epay check statements for the last few weeks and the SS tax is around 1.5% since crossing the magic $94,200 threshold if I factor in the 401(k) contribution. Coolness. Thanks.
Yeah, your pre-tax deductions don't have any effect on the magic number from an SS withholding perspective.
