Until confirmed wreckage is found, you have to assume the plane is in one piece and functional (Same is probably not true of the passengers). To assume anything else leaves an open door for disaster...
What function would a plane of this nature have in terrorist hands? Consider 9/11 with an EMP, NORK/Nukes, or a chemical weapon payload coming into a large American city (LA, NYC, Washington?) and let you imagination go from there...

I will say this again and again...
It would be one of the lamest terror attempts to use a plane everyone knows went missing. Everyone in the world KNOWS about it and knows they would have to watch for it.
Also lame even if it was literally just a transport. Why draw so much attention to your conspiracy with a worldwide news item?

A plane that size, crammed with just conventional explosives would probably be the equivalent of a small nuke.
If crammed with dirty bomb material, much worse.

You left out bioweapons, but I agree. I think we have to assume the plane is up and functional somewhere, at least until we see the wreckage. Otherwise, a paint job, a busy pattern, an alleged divert/inflight emergency, and there could be a real problem...
