As good a possibility as any, and I think a quite plausible one. A few people mentioned someone stealing the plane already (I think in the big thread) and loading it up and flying it into a high-value target.

Oh my!!!
The signs point to Iran...
Translation: it is an israeli false flag terrorist event.
Always is.

Your id would not fool me when I was working, I have seen it all from very good to absolutely hilarious reproductions or touched up ID if your will.
You can get some awfully good ID these days, if you've got the coin. I guarantee you could not have told it wasn't standard issue unless you ran the numbers, and on the pricier ones the name, address, height and weight would have matched, although the picture would not, if you could pull it up. Complete with the correct holograms and watermarks.
There's a bunch of ID forgers that used to work for the Agency that are living in Switzerland, they're absolutely amazing. But you're going to fork over about $1,000 for a drivers license. The FedEx badge and ID is pricier.

Major maintenance has led to more headaches than almost anything else out there. We had an EC-135 that was such a dream to fly. You didn't even have to trim the damn thing to get it to fly level. Then it went through PDM. When they put the wings on, they didn't align them correctly. Even after removing and reattaching them a second time that damn airplane never flew straight again.
Japan 123 flew 12 flights just fine, after the aft pressure bulkhead was improperly installed. On the 13th, the bulkhead blew out, tearing off a large portion of aft fuselage leading to a crash.
Those are just two examples to show how maintenance can cause huge problems later.
Since 9-11, Interpol has maintained a database of stolen passports. It contains more than 40 million entries, according to the agency.

hell, it's possible the mysterious Mr. Ali is actually an american setting Iran up so that China doesn't join Russia and Iran in any actions that might take place in the Ukraine.

Any time there is an accident there is a really detailed section on the crew. Everything from mediations down to how much sleep they got in the days before the accident. They essentially tear their lives apart for the week or so prior.
