[OT] Shredded paper reassembled

>From the Globe this morning, re 'Westjet settles with Air Canada':
----------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the spring of 2004, Air Canada hired detectives to snoop through the
garbage of a WestJet co-founder, unearthing shredded documents. Air Canada
later hired computer experts to electronically piece the shredded papers
back together.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

After the Shah of Iran was deposed, it was reported that the Iranians were
manually reassembling the shredded documents of the CIA centre there. This
was claimed to tap into the Iranian skills in carpet making. However, it
would obviously save the spooks a lot of time if this could be done
electronically.

Any ideas on this from the Knowledge?
