Confetti gone bad

Every year at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade there tons of confetti flying through the air, this year the parade goers found something interesting and disturbing  about it. They noticed that it was shredded up police documents, but they were still legible. On these sheds of documents there were social security numbers and banking information for police employees, some of them were undercover police officials. They say that the documents were shredded horizontally and Newsday says that it is one of the least secure methods of shredding documents. This allowed entire lines to be able to read.
