mystitools default shield?

I RP in a region that does not allow shields. when I put on the mystitool HUD, I'm told that they see a shield. is there some kind of default shield that starts when you activate the HUD? if so, is there a way to set the default to not activated?

Mysitools is generally not allowed in RP because of the default scanning and lag it causes. As far as a default shield, sounds like an SL tale.

Are you wearing the implant? That thing usually has some visible items. (o.o)

Otherwise... Most RP sims I know don't like Mysti anyway... The AV scanner adds to simlag and often gives an unfair advantage to it's wearer during stealth RP. (^_^)y

Objects will collide with the Mystitool when it is worn, so maybe that's what they mean? The only way around that is to detach it, I believe.

I have been known to be wrong on occasion, however, so take this with a pinch of salt. I do forever get green text advising me what I've managed to bump into this time, so maybe I'm onto something.

If you have movelock on when someone tries to animate your AV, sometimes it causes you bounce around and not finish the animation.. suppose that could look like a shield to the untrained eye.
