Aug 16 2007USB Paper Shredder
I own every USB gadget imaginable, and the USB Paper Shredder is no exception. Why use a wastebasket version when this little guy will do you just fine. It's perfect for shredding those incriminating notes you and the pretty secretary exchange all day. I've had mine for awhile now, and it has never done me wrong. You should have seen the time I told my wife it was a curling iron! Oh the hilarity that ensued! Good times, good times. We're divorced now.

The fact that it's usb powered doesn't make it any less crappier.

You can still put shredded docs back together. The only sure way is to have a USB powered incinerator.

Here in Montréal we have people looking through trash and recycling bins every night looking for documents that can be used for identity theft. They also go through the bins at our local recycling center. And I read an article in the NYTimes recently about an epidemic of identity theft in Arizona, especially around Phoenix. I do think it’s still a problem.
Even if identity theft weren’t an issue, I just don’t want to have other people reading my private papers (bank statements, receipts, printed e-mails, etc.).
I suppose if you’re just shredding receipts you could get by with a pair of scissors, but I typically shred much more than that, and I don’t always have time to shred things every day so they pile up. I just took five archive boxes full of papers to my local shredding service; it would have taken me many hours to put that all through my little shredder at home.
