h a l f b a k e r yI like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

Tele-tap is a telescopic rod, that can be extended over a considerable distance. On the end that is held by its operator is a trigger. At the other end is a mechanical spring loaded finger.
Tele-tap can be used to tap people on the shoulder who are (for example) ahead of you in a queue. It also removes
the need to throw small stones at an upper floor window to attract the attention of an oblivious occupant.
You can customise Tele-tap by painting the nail on the finger or convert it into Horror Tele-tap by substituting the finger with a single tooth on the end of a bony digit.

Uh, as [Spacecoyote] so lovingly pointed out, this is
rather, sort of, kind of, partially, baked. |
|

The basic limitation here is one of range. In
general, if I can reach someone with a telescopic
rod, I can reach them by taking a few steps and
cutting out the middle man. |

However, there is scope for improvementing this
idea. |

Small drones, with cameras and wifi, are becoming
extremely cheap. It should be possible to adapt
these, and to ensure that flocks of them are
airborne in most locations at all times. By this
means, it should be possible to tap anyone,
anywhere on the shoulder at any time, from
anywhere. |
