Notes: This function does not throw an exception if the threat level is not high enough. If 'os' functions are enabled, this function will return an empty string if the threat level is not met. This allows vehicle scripts to always check this and not worry about exceptions.

The value returned is the name of the physics engine specified in the OpenSim.ini file ("physics = XXX"). It is usually either "OpenDynamicsEngine" or "BulletSim".
