It's my observation that most people do not put their hands over their hearts when singing or listening to the anthem. Some do, most don't and I don't take it as a sign of disrespect if they don't. This to me is a tradition, not a requirement, and if a person is listening (or singing) with a focus and showing reverence, that's OK with me.
