** please don't do top-posting **

I think your question stems from misunderstandings about pairing.
Obviously, you can't force the HS to be paired with a device that it
doesn't know about. You probably can't even connect to it unless you are
paired with it..  Bluetooth is a cable-replacement technology and pairing
is about setting up a trusted connection that does not need to be approved
every time it needs to be made. If you can forcefully pair with a device,
then any Joe with a radio could do it too from hundreds of meters away and
there would be no security in that. That you the owner of each device must
participate in the pairing process is intentional.
