Red Tape is a very common term used for describing the bureaucracy of
Government of India (perhaps a legacy from British). Delays and inaction
by Indian bureaucracy have often been blamed to the Red Tape in the
government offices (which signifies a cloth ribbon tied around a file
folder to hold the papers in place). One result of the criticism was that
the red tape was subsequently replaced with a white tape. Although it is
anybody's guess, if this actually improved the working at the government
offices.

OTOH, it's what I put over exposed mains connections while working on a
piece of equipment while it is powered.
