TSM does not, and my understanding is that most regulatory environments require some kind of physical destruction anyways as simply overwriting the tape (even multiple times) is not sufficient to guarantee that the data are unreadable.
Note also that TSM can manage hardware encryption with LTO drives (the mechanism varies depending on library and generation of LTO) which might be sufficient, though you have to take care that your database backups are handled separately since it will be unencrypted to allow the encryption key to be read in a disaster.
