Yep, our 3582 has a lock.  Beyond that pretty much every equipment rack
can be configured with locking front & rear panels.  Neither the tape
library nor the rack locks are particularly robust but they will at
least slow down anyone intent on accessing the media/equipment.

BTW, IANAL but if you were using a 'modern' encryption method like
AES256 I'm pretty sure the breach notification can be avoided.  IBM is
severely behind the times on tape (and disk for that matter) encryption
support for the iSeries.
