Good to know they had an expert on the scene:

"She said in retrospect the humming sounded exactly like a vibrator – but it was better to be safe then sorry."

As funny as it is, such a situation would have been inevitable anyways.

Why in hell would they think that a bomb would hum or vibrate?

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).

It is best to be cautious.

It's a boring life to be cautious all the time.

Because it didn't know the words?

I've heard of that. Maybe it's due to some kind of electrical device being used as a detonator. Supposedly terrorists don't use those ticking alarm clocks anymore.
