Also the attack can be performed multiple times and if a person travels it could narrow down the possibilities quite a lot.

They had an example of the attack getting two locations back, Las Vegas and San Francisco.

So the target is somewhere in the many thousand square miles in the circle that encompasses almost half the US!
