Lifehacker passes on a tip for unwrapping CDs—in particular, those really freaking annoying pieces of plastic that you have to remove from the case in order to get it open. What really annoys me about this whole security tape thing is that I feel like I'm being punished for buying legal CDs instead of just downloading them off the net. Basically, the procedure involves unhinging the CD case at the bottom and flipping the cover up to give you better access to the security tape. There are pictures and a longer description at the Lifehacker link above.
I haven't tried it yet since I don't have any unopened CDs, but I just spent about five minutes last week trying to get the tapes peeled off one; I'm going to give this technique a try next time.
