There is such a device. It's called a tazer (a.k.a stun gun).

While we're on that, I stumbled across this article: "Tazer-toting

One problem that needs to be addressed is the public's using cell phones
to make and receive phone calls in the library.  This public librarian
would LOVE to have a device that would prevent people from using cell
phones in the facility. It also seems that cell phone users feel they
must speak loudly in order to be heard by the person they're talking to.


Perhaps the tech wizards can find a solution that jams  voice
transmissions but allowes digitized data to be accessed.
