Someone can tell you a very funny story about a whiteboard in the stands being officially deemed "wireless communication" (because it doesn't have a wire!) at one event in the days of yore. However, if the string was technically a wire, you could dodge that bullet.
In all seriousness, though, we really have had official safety problems with people using long cables behind the glass. I remember one case as a ref where a driver used a very long cable on their gamepad in order to walk the entire length of the alliance station to see around whatever obstacle was blocking our view that year. Stuff like this is clever but very dangerous with all the movement back there.
