Paper shredders are used to cut paper into very fine strips or tiny paper chips. Government organizations, businesses, and private individuals use shredders to destroy private, confidential, or sensitive documents. Privacy experts often recommend that individuals shred bills, credit card and bank account statements, and other documents that could be used by thieves to commit fraud or identity theft.
After the Supreme Court decision in California v. Greenwood, in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit the warrantless search and seizure of garbage left for collection outside of a home, paper shredders became more popular among private US citizens with privacy concerns. However, shredded documents from cheaper shredders that are placed in the garbage can be collected and reassembled (Unshredding). For maximum security, documents should be shredded so that the words of the document go through the shredder horizontally (i.e., perpendicular to the blades). |

Unshredding: In some cases, it may be possible to reassemble the pieces of shredded documents. If the shreds are not disturbed, the "noodles" or particles that belonged to the same document tend to stay close to each other. Furthermore, when the documents are fed to the shredder in a way that the lines of text are not perpendicular to the shredder blades, portions of text may remain legible on the stripes. Shredded documents can be reassembled manually.
After the Iranian Revolution and the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979, Iranians enlisted local carpet weavers who reconstructed the pieces by hand. The recovered documents would be later released by the Iranian regime in a series of books called "Documents from the US Espionage Den". The US government subsequently improved its shredding techniques, by adding pulverizing, pulping, and chemical decomposition. Modern computer technology considerably speeds up the process of reassembling shredded documents. The strips are scanned on both sides, and then the computer determines how the strips should be put together. Robert Johnson of the National Association for Information Destruction, has stated that there is a huge demand for document reconstruction. |
