What the organizers could do is take all the records of the games and run
them through a program that checks for legality of all moves. This doesn't
imply trusting the programers honesty and they don't have to be present and
watch the game. Neither has the TD to do that nor anybody else.

I understand that. Short of having it, I was suggesting strict adherence to
the rules that are accepted by each tournament, whichever are they.
