Dear teachers:

I've seen the movie "Rush Hours 2",acted by Jackie Chan(Lee) and Chris Tucker(Carter). In this movie,there was a episode that Lee and Carter were using binocular to watch a woman who was in a hotel.They saw the woman receiving a package.At that moment ,they thought that the package is a bomb.And in the end , actually,it is simply a package.Lee said to Carter "It is you said it is a bomb." but Carter said "No,i said she is a bomb."

So,what does Carter mean?Can a "bomb" be used to describe people?

A bomb, in this case, probably means, she is an extremely attractive woman.
