Do they still coat tape with ferrous oxide (Fe3O4) and if so, would a box of tape contain enough to trigger the WTMD? After all, isn't it called "magnetic tape?"

I completely agree with you. Passengers should not be forced to submit Extremely High-Value Items like your tape to the x-ray machine when alternate methods of screening can easily clear the item.
