Corporeal Shields. Since the shield acts as a two-way barrier to all physical damage, the explosion will only affect things within the shield if the bomb is within the shield at detonation time. Of course, this necessitates throwing away a Vessel, being in celestial form when you use the Song, or being hilariously prepared to just take the resulting damage (it's actually pretty trivial for a warrior angel to have enough hitpoints that the damage that brings it down would kill a human ten times over, so I'd say the Corporeal heavy being able to survive being pointblanked with an IED is actually reasonable).

As per the opening vignette of the Corporeal Players Guide, this trick works on a tactical nuke let alone a sensible bomb.
