Even prisoners used it in prison camps by tapping on walls or pipes.
I don't think International Morse serves very effectively when the
characters must be simple taps. How does the receiving operator tell if a
tap is supposed to be a dash? In my experience, I'd say it can't be done.

Might I suggest that dragging a rock along the prison wall for a second or
so can be used to make a DASH.....as compared to the short tap of the rock
against the wall for a DOT.
Seems reasonable.....think about it.
