(Emphasis mine)
You may want to bring a printout of this rule with you though, it is very possible to get inspectors who don't know the rules very well (I've had it happen at least twice). Also, based off of the posts on CD, tape-related rules seem to be the most inconsistently enforced of the inspection rules.
