What happens when someone takes control of the guidance? A bomb dropped from the sky is going to obey the laws of physics and that's it.

You dont just "take over" an inertial guidance system.

No, but the possibility exists.

In the same way the atoms that make up you and the atoms that make up a car wont hit eachother if you get hit. Unless there is some massive amount of fuckery theres no stopping a bomb once its dropped.
