In all fairness there are a hell of a lot of places you can hide a bomb in a car, it's not going to be like a case with where tell-tale wires, smells or anything like that are quite so obvious. Wouldn't there also be a high risk that if indeed there was a bomb inside that opening the car up for a more detailed inspection could trigger it? I'd imagine that as there would be absolutely no way to find exactly where the explosives were without endangering themselves they'd have to use a far less precise method to make sure that everything was immobilised. I very much doubt even with a "controlled explosion" they would want to set off a car bomb as all they'd have control of is when the bomb went off and not the damage it would do.
It's all too easy to look at this after the event occurred and criticise, they must have had a damn good reason to carry this out otherwise they wouldn't have bothered. Blowing up a car is hardly an everyday occurrence is it?
