This magnificent item scans each document as it is shredded and sends two copies of it to every networked printer it can find.

Hilarity ensues as your bewildered colleagues and co-workers desperately try to fight the resulting Hydra-esque proliferation of sensitive information.

       I am always suspicious of shredders for this very reason. You just don’t know where the scanned image of your secret document is being sent to.

       I have, on occasion, scanned a document, randomized all the pixels in the scan, and thrown the document in the trash.   

       [21] - if you don't see the scanner head, does that mean there isn't one, or that they've done a good job of hiding it? (not sure what order to close my <humor> and <paranoia> tags)

       But beware the imperfect Asian copy, where the document scanner is installed on the wrong side of the shredder, therefore sending perfect printouts, in class-leading resolution, of strings of paper.

       //Most shredders *don't* have a scanner//   

       That's what they _want_ you to think.
