Thanks for the suggestions folks!  I ended up disassembling the tapes
(each was held together by 4 small screws), then using shears to cut
through the actual tape.  It doesn't guarantee that no one will be able
to read the data, but I think it'd be way more work than it's worth for
someone to try dealing with.
