Not sure what shell you are using. If it's bash, read the bash man pages 
where you will find that there are many ways to customise the "readline" 
function of the shell by setting readline variables (all done in a 
inputrc file). One of the options is to  set the variable 
"disable-completion" to "on". TAB characters no longer have a special 
"completion" meaning if the shell is started with this variable set in 
this way. Man pages tell you where to find this file. No idea whether 
other shells have the same functionality.
Or of course you could do as advised by others and get rid of the tabs 
from your scripts.
