In the Spielberg film "Minority Report" when their leader gets precognitively flagged as being a murderer the PreCrime team goes on the chase. As they are staging to capture him, they say "Only bind foam and sick sticks"--i.e, non-lethals. Sick sticks were explored in the film: an electroconvulsive emetic, like a "vomit taser". Pretty cool.

Bind foam was not explored. Presumably, it's like "expanding foam", and you point it at someone, and spray them and they get "bound". Could be good to call Spielberg and see what he thinks of your glue idea.

Minority Report did extensive workshopping and brainstorming with futurists and scientists to come up with plausible future tech. Maybe the precogs saw something in you and your SF-exodus glue-taser idea?
