There should be body check also.....may be some of them under the influence of drugs/liquor .. as the way they behave in the parliament.

Maybe they receive text messages telling how to vote. Without their mobile phones they will be leaderless.

Why not request them to switch all mobile phones when entering parliament as done in most other countries, when entering public places like a theater or parliament.

This is a very good move I saw with my owner eyes last week Ravi k fiddling. With his phone during budge speech - may be it was boring but then he should have it . I saw this on sirasa. Where are manners ?

Will the MPs also start rioting just like the prisoners if the Sergeant At Arms decides to check for hidden mobile phones!
