This week's issue Parade Magazine has a small item that might be of real concern to someone. In the "Ask Marilyn" section, a reader from Camp Hill, PA writes in with this question: "I believe it should be possible to reconstruct shredded documents -- tedious and time-consuming, but possible. Do you agree?"
Do I hear a few people starting to lose sleep?

well, I always figured that if it was the FBI after you, rather than an ID-theft common crook, they'd do exactly that and have little difficulty with my shredded bills et al. however, for something like the shreddings of the average legal firm, you'd probably need some pretty impressive scanning and reconstruction software...
Actually that's sort of what the item said. Standard shredders left strips that could, if someone was meticulous enough, be reconstructed. Cross cutting shredders, though, leave pieces that it is almost impossible to put back together. Something to keep in mind when shopping for a shredder.
