I read 4000 as miles on the first day.

They've only been searching about an 80 square mile area until now. They're expanding it out to about 100 square miles though.

I don't. The story says that an Iranian purchased the tickets. It's a theory like any other. No meat.
The suggestion that the two passengers on false passport resembled the footballer Balotelli was greeted by laughter at the press conference.
Italian Luigi Maraldi, whose stolen passport was used by a passenger boarding a missing Malaysian airliner, shows his passport as he reports himself to Thai police in Phuket province, southern Thailand, on March 9.

More on one of the passports:

The person who stole the passport would have to at least if anything vaguely resemble him to board the plane?

o ye belive it if you like just like the LIbian AL MAGRACHE was guilty of bringing down a pan-am plane in 1988
That's the plane my nephew was supposed to be on. He was delayed at the last minute buy the guy who was supposed to take him to the airport. They both stayed in Germany and lived.
Really? Is it not possible to replace the photo with one which is the person boarding the plane? It might not be entirely seamless, but it might be enough to get past officials, that said maybe the officials didn't even look at the photo on the passport? Or the guy wore a mask? No, wait, I think the passport photo being doctored is the most likely scenario, but I could be wrong.
A BBC Persia report quotes an Iranian friend of one of the men, who said he
hosted the pair in Kuala Lumpur after they arrived from Tehran in the days
preceding their flight to Beijing. The friend, who knew one of the men from
his school days in Iran, said the men had bought the fake passports because
they wanted to migrate to Europe.
The pair were travelling on passports belonging to Christian Kozel, an
30-year -old Austrian, and Luigi Maraldi, a 37-year-old Italian. They
had bought the passports in Kuala Lumpur as well as tickets to
Amsterdam, via Beijing. One of the Iranian nationals intended final
destination was Frankfurt, where his mother lives, while the other
wanted to travel to Denmark.
The same source that spoke to BBC Persia also emailed CNN with
a photograph of him posing with his two friends in the days before
they embarked on their fateful trip.

Perhaps they are looking too hard at the potential terrorists who just happen to fly with their toothpaste in their luggage?
When they should be paying attention to the actual Passport and other documents.
I see more restrictions on all people trying to travel and I see more black boots on the move.
For what? I say a Bad moon arising.
