Apparently, when they're x-rayed in the box, the configuration of belly battery pack and arms-and-legs sensors makes Tickle Me Elmo look just like a bomb.
At least that's the story from a friend of the x-ray guy in the mailroom at a major movie studio whose account got posted on some blog. And really, what more proof do you need?
Terrorize Me Elmo [boingboing]
Buy Hokey Pokey Elmo--he does the Tickle Me thing, too, don't worry--for $24.99 [amazon]
Personally I prefer the Shoot Me Up Elmo variety...
