"Oh, boo-hoo. If they can't fix their own damned problems, they are obviously inferior to me. I don't treat cockroaches or leeches with the same respect I treat people. And these 'People' only make it in a biological sense.

I sure hope your doctor doesn't have that attitude. Or maybe I do...
Can't we come up with some system like in "Minority Report" where voters could vote by dropping a wooden ball with the candidate's picture and name laser engraved on it into some sort of clear plastic pneumatic tube? That would be kewl!!
And woe to you when, out of the goodness of your heart, you donate the shoes to Goodwill, where they're bought by the one-armed-man!!!! Let's see you explain your way outta THAT, Dr. Kimbell!!!
Yeah, but most of the time, it's fetching half dead small furry / feathered / slimy things which flail around getting blood on your carpet and drapes until you catch it.
You should really be less pitiful as a hunter. You're emberassing your cat.
My point being that identity theft is seen as a minor cost of business to the CC industry. Too bad it's an absolute shitstorm of biblical proportions if it happens to be your identity that was stolen. Don't you watch 60 Minutes/20-20/Dateline/etc etc? It can take years to clean up such a mess, and the people, err sorry, corps responsible are usually no help at all. In fact, in most cases, they obstinately refuse to correct the faulty data. The burden of fixing things is on the VICTIM.
Ok, I was a bit vague in my post. He was fishing intact CC receipts out of the trash, not shredded receipts. Shredding them at least raises the bar so that at least the mouth-breathers aren't going to be ripping you off.
If anyone's going to the effort ($8K or more currently) to re-assemble shredded documents, they're probably expecting a bigger payoff than a gamecube and a DVD player. If your information is that sensitve, well, then burn it.
The CIA did something similar to the Xerox machines leased to the Soviet embassy in the 60's. So I wouldn't put it past them. I'm sure it's technically possible.

Think different.
Sounds like a viable justification for this plan! And additional side-effect is that we get a reasonably priced launch system out of the deal!!
It was specifically stated in the interview that that was an official company benefit! Get yer grubby Chuck Taylors outta that dumpster!!
