No. If you shoot pairs of entangled particles in opposite directions, someone receiving one stream of particles can take or not take measurements thereby collapsing or not collapsing the wave function of the particles going in the other direction. If you could tell the difference between a particle with a collapsed wave function and one without, this could be used for FLT communication. Bottom line is we can't tell if a wave function is "collapsed" or not. It's not a real event.
