Technology is developing at such a rate that it is easier and easier to cheat at chess if you want to. Thankfully most people don't want to.
The rules need to recognise that you have to (try to) prevent players cheating at the top level; That means no mobiles, watches, shoes off if required. For Dundee congress or the Dundee League it is ridiculous and maybe even illegal to try to prevent players having mobile phones. Imagine what happens when a player get attacked walking home because they couldn't ring for a taxi.
