You see, when the insides are there for all to see, with the wires and shit, it totally looks like a hoax bomb.

Way too Hollywood. I doubt real bombs have beeping and flashing red LEDs and wires everywhere. The teacher, principal, and cops are all retards.

@previous (Metæ)Now wait one momento - TV Cop shows often show a bomb with leds and cell phone taped to the guts and wires so many wires and Macgyver has to decide in milliseconds if Red or White or Green wire is one to clip. And you can clearly see the LED display

@previous (J)Known permutations:
The red wire isn't there.
All the wires are the same color.
Cutting any wire at all is a bad play.
The hero is colorblind, or the lighting makes him effectively colorblind.
The guy reading from the manual changes his mind between maybe red, maybe blue ... are any of 'em green?
The guy with the manual says "red", the hero says "Frack it!" and yanks out the whole snarled-up mess of wires, or cuts the blue one and... there is a big explosion.
The guy with the manual tells the hero to cut the red wire. He goes on to do so, but just as he's about to cut it (sweat in his eyes and all) — or already has — the guy says "NO!! STOP!! It's not that one!". Even if there's no manual guy, the hero will usually change his mind about which wire to cut at the last second.
The color is one the cutter doesn't know: taupe, ochre, turquoise, umber, etc.
The guy reading from the manual says something like "It says to cut the blue wire.." * snip* ".. after cutting the red one.."
The hero just throws the bomb out the window.
An expert arrives and simply flips the OFF switch on the bomb to deactivate it.
The hero/expert futilely tries to defuse the bomb. The other person watching (usually another member of the team if the hero is trying to defuse the bomb, or if the expert is defusing the bomb, then the hero is watching) gets frustrated and shoves the hero/expert out of the way and punches the control panel. This may result in two different endings. One is that the bomb shuts down to the hero/expert's surprise, or two, the bomb skips the timer and just detonates, Hilarity usually ensues.
The bomb explodes... harmlessly (with a shower of confetti or powder, maybe a large "BANG" sign), and we're shown it was all a test that the hero just failed.
There is more than one bomb. If the bomb goes off, the next guy knows to cut a different wire.
There ARE no wires.

Like how all Hollywood computer systems have a giant red "override" button which allows instant access to the system.

Yeah, that's something I don't understand - if they really thought it was a bomb, why didn't they evacuate the school and call in the bomb squad? Logically, that would have been the first course of action to take in the event of a genuine threat.

just blow up another bomb that makes an electromagnetic pulse that renders the electronics of the original bomb useless.
