What I would like to know is why vibrating devices like razors or dildos are regularly being considered as indicating a bomb. Why would a bomb vibrate prior to exploding?

Maybe if it used a clockwork timer? But a vibrating dildo doesn't sound very much like a ticking escapement!
Well you have to turn it on before it explodes…
Explain - how does igniting a bomb require vibration?
Cell phone trigger?
Doesn’t make much sense that way either, unless the bomb has malfunctioned. If it’s vibrating, surely the bombs going off?
