I wonder how hard it is to slip a bomb into an old white lady's bag...

Probably extremely difficult, as evidenced by:

It doesn't seem to have been done up to this point (knock on wood)
It seems to be far easier for them to recruit homicidal / suicidal idiots who will gleefully do it.
The technology that they are using requires more space than what a lady's handbag typically provides in order to produce the effect that they are looking for. Bulky backpacks, massive suicide bomb belts and automobiles filled with explosives appear to be the most popular mechanisms of delivery. Let's hope that they never get hold of state of the art explosives, or the entire dynamic will change.
I think that most ladies are quite protective of their handbags, and any nervous, sweaty, Koran-carrying Middle-Eastern-Looking nutjob who gets within ten feet of a lady's purse will most likely get beaten bloody with it,
Even if they were to get hold of small, lightweight, modern explosives and get it into a lady's handbag without her knowing, there's the problem of remote detonation which requires additional sophisticated equipment and weight, or a timer which doesn't allow them to detonate at a specific location.
