That was kind of an understandable response considering what they were dealing with... not to mention that again, there really was nothing zero could have said to save his ass because the truth was just about as unbelievable as Britania's story, only zero had no "proof" to back it up

The writing for convincing the BK that zero was a geass user responsible for many innocent deaths was piss poor, but i think the reaction was fairly handled
I might agree with you were it not for their treatment of Kallen. The minute she even steps up to defend him, even asking to let him explain himself no less, she must be under the influence of Geass. This proves they are not thinking about this rationally. They bought into Schneizel's evidence and reacted in the worst possible way, for Zero at least. They just gathered the biggest group possible to kill Zero. That they had at least a dozen Knightmares on standby shows they weren't merely taking precautions. They just wanted him dead.

For her bomb, destroy the data and get rid of the few bombs that were made and the scientist will have to start all over since i doubt any of them commited the creation of the bomb to memory... normally not very possible, but a little "plot" can fix that
She'd have to erase every hard drive, take care of every scientist, and destroy every produced weapon. It isn't in her power to do so. As for Geass, the Sword of Akasha still exists, as do the Thought Elevators and everything else. All Lelouch did was wipe out civilians in the larger scheme of things, though a number were dangerous Geass users.

The terrorists before Zero were a nuisance, and that's what they would become again. They would have been effectively eliminated, because the resistance Zero mounted was so above anything they could comprehend that it took something that drastic to destroy it.
