Corrected entry: Several times during the movie they mention microwave transmitters. They use microwave bugs on people and they use microwave to synchronize the two bombs. While this is feasible, microwaves need direct visibility between transmitter and receiver, not really usable for tracking people inside buildings. Also the two bombs don't have a direct line of sight and the microwave sync would not work.

Corrected entry: In the docking scene where Coop is trying to dock the service module to the partly damaged Endurance, the Endurance is spinning around its center axis. As the ship was damaged around the perimeter it would spin around its new center of mass, that would be off axis. The docking bay itself would revolve around this new axis, making alignment much harder.
Correction: It's not explained in the movie itself, but any kind of craft that has to take distribution of weight into account (e.g. Larger ships, airplanes), has some form of (semi-) automatic mechanism to rebalance itself, for example by pumping fuel into another section. A spacecraft that is designed to revolve around itself and features detachable cargo modules etc., sure as hell will have some form of automatic weight redistribution as well, so as not to off-center the whole craft when someone goes to the toilet 90° away.

Correction: Microwave is defined as 1ghz to 1000ghz. These ranges are routinely used for communications that penetrate buildings and other structures with windows, etc, as evidenced by their use in wireless phones, wifi, cell phones, etc.
