Would using turbulent noise on an adjustment layer over the footage fit 
the bill? If you want to add a blur effect to it, all you need to do is 
duplicate the noise into a precomp and link a fast blur layer to it's 
luma value. You can fiddle with the evolution settings and levels to 
your tastes.

Here's a link to a CS 5.5 file that is a simple version of what I'm 
talking about.
