I know its a movie, but the concept is flawed...
I really appreciated your comment on the accuracy of this film. I think its highly unlikely that the FBI couldn't trace a streaming and live webcam connection, that uses one domain name all the time, back to a specific location.
For a long time now, the FBI has had the ability to follow IP addresses down stream to eventually get back to the originating IP address, which eventually leads to an address.
Again, I haven't seen the movie, but its a different story if a hacker uses someone else's computer or Internet connection to cover his tracks, but even then, the longer you have a connection to the internet through a single source, the more like it is you'll be located.
I think it's great this FBI Agent is using this opportunity to increase the public's awareness of cyber crime issues. However, using inaccuracies and implausible situations, may not be the best way to do it.
