Insecurity of cross shredded documents

Interesting article at the nytimes about the advances in de-shredding paper. It seems that there are now companies that put back together cross shredded documents for a tidy sum ($8K-$10K per cubic foot which is generally <100 pages). I remember talking with a friend about this about a year ago and trying to come up with a practical way to do it with open source tools, sane, ocr, and some logic…it would be possible.
