I can't imagine Mesaana going for a glove of Air. It sounds impressive, but she seems academic and I think she'll block it on a mental level perhaps. Like a warding on her mind.
... doesn't mean she wouldn't utilize a simple solution to a problem if one was available. Unless you equate "academic" with "moron".
Actually, if I were her, I would have implemented multiple solutions/tricks to prevent the Oaths from activating, just to be on the safe side.

Except that the best way to 'defeat' the Oath rod is - not to take the Oaths at all
