Then your FBI agent should probably go through the channels
(http://security.comcast.net/get-help/contact-comcast-security.aspx)
they have to speak to Comcast, especially if it involves a threat to
life and safety. Asking on NANOG for a Comcast contact to give you
customer information (which is what it seems like you're asking for)
probably isn't going to help and makes it look more like you're trying
to social engineer some information than trying to help someone.
