It would be interesting if Boeing were to offer a version of it as a BBJ or airliner.

It's not trivial to modify a commercial aircraft for weapons employment.

But it might be somewhat easier to modify a military varient for use as an airliner. After all the 707 was based on the military KC-135 tanker.
