Tamperproof tape, where to find in a physical store?

I absolutely refuse to be an idiot and check in my luggage completely unsecured. I hope that this is just an interim solution and that there's something better in the works. (It took the UK 8 years to implement 100% tiered checked baggage screening.)

So, I'll live through it for now by buying tamperproof tape, where the words "void" remain on your luggage if removed. I'm still fond of my hard-side luggage. Hence, twist-ties won't work.

Hence, should a TSA inspector want to be invasive and look into my bag behind my back, my tape is just cut, and it'll be replaced with some TSA tamperproof sticker.
Should some thief break into my luggage, it'll be evident, and I can file a claim against the airline.

So, does anyone know where I can get one from a real store, i.e. OfficeMax, Staples, Home Depot???

Thanks.
