I have a idea for websites like MtGox. and BTC-E that adds a security layer when withdrawing to prevent unauthorized withdraws of hacked accounts
It'd be identifying the user using Webcams, the user would send a picture of him to the support where they attach it to his profile, and everytime he requests a withdrawal, he's required to take a snapshot using his webcam that gets sent to  the withdrawal team would look at to confirm that it's actually the user trying to withdraw his money.
What do you guys think of this?
Would it be beneficial to account owners?

Only if you're willing to pay a huge fee to pay the salary of the poor schmuck verifying all the images. Manual labour is expensive, not to mention slow.

Not everytime, just everytime you request a withdrawal from a foreign IP.

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I think this not a good idea. Now you also need to secure your own snapshot

You don't need to secure your snapshot, because the webcam plugin in the website would take it for you.

It would make it difficult spending bitcoins at a fancy dress party...

I think your thinking along the right lines though, more verification from unregistered IP's would go along way towards securing the network.
