How do you imagine it could possibly do that, without being the sim?

If two avatars collide, the "sim function" for that collision is the  
collision itself. If a script in an attachment performs a sensor scan  
for nearby high-velocity objects, and rezzes a shield prim to ward  
them off, then where could it perform that task but the sim?  
Everything that could be performed on an avatar's behalf outside the  
sim has ALREADY been handed off to the client.
