[Avodah] Walking in front of a mispallel

[Sterling Touch]

It seems to me that the Halacha that it is forbidden
to walk in front of someone that is davening Shemona
Esrei has practically been forgotten. 

1.Does anyone know how and when this happened?

2.What is the Limud Zichus for this?

3.In many shuls, Tzedakah is collected during Chazoras
HaShatz and the collector is constantly passing in
front of individuals who are still davening Shemona
Esrei. Why is this permissible? (I actually know of
one Shul that waits until Ashrei to collect.)

4.If a valid Heter cannot be found, would it be
“Lefnei Ever
” to give Tzedakah at that time?
