I know I may be getting worked up over nothing but I have never seen this before during my short time making beer. Here is the situation.

Last night I was bottling up a double IPA I was transferring my beer to the bottling bucket and had left a small layer of beer on top of the yeast. After transferring I put the airlock back on the carboy. While bottling I noticed that the airlock still had activity. After bottling all the beer and checking again the airlock still had activity. This all happened after I had reached a steady FG and had cold crashed my beer. Should I be worried about bottle bombs? I am planning on cracking a bottle open soon and checking the carbonation levels later tonight to see if it is already carbed up.

You are simply seeing off gassing from the pressure change, if the fg was stable you've got nothing to worry about:)

yeah, it's fine. don't waste a bottle checking now. give it a week at least. bottle bombs won't happen overnight and in this case they aren't going to happen at all.
