Nope - bad idea.

If this is an in-library tape, it'll rewind, eject, and most libraries
will just ignore it.  You'll get a drive-down error next time the
library tries to insert a tape in this drive (and finds a tape already
hanging out of it this failing the tape mount).  Some libraries will
detect this and reslot the tape but it's not dependable.
