years and years ago I had some thoughts tumbling around about how I'd design an automated system for muting/vibrate-mode only for phones in cinemas/libraries/quiet-zones, etc.

The security implications and UX involved in managing settings in a non-infuriating fashion rapidly sunk it though, and I daresay it would never have been practically deployable unless business/landowners/whatever could enforce its use as a condition of entry.

Also, you forgot the hollow tooth + airbag components + RF magic => remote operated ball-gag :P
