The movie had its problems and I've never read the books but even I know the answer is because the shields don't stop slow moving objects otherwise you wouldn't be able to pick up a cup. It's even explained in the film, admittedly very briefly.

But then again that's also how personal shields work in Stargate

They sure as hell don't mind war crimes.
