Then it explodes when loaded into the cargo hold, in which case only the loaders die and the terrorists could have done much better with just a bomb on a street corner.

Not sure. Do you know how much money would it cost to replace the plane and shut down the airport until officials make sure that was the only bomb?

Besides that, the loss of signal could start a countdown.
