This is a major contributing factor to the rapid increase in Identity Theft and Industrial Espionage. Federal security laws require that medical and financial institutions as well as normal business owners must properly safeguard their clients personal and financial information.There are also paper shredders that meet GSA or NSA approved security for top secret and classified document destruction.
