We don't need no steenkin' shredder!
great, just think what the government can do to your personal infomation
contract? what contract?
"Hey Doogle, I found this "R" laying on the floor from previous post"
Exactly.
A buddy of mine was in a heavy metal band in the 80’s and in a drunken debauch got a massive tattoo on his shoulder. It was awful. Unbelievably bad in design, the lines were blurred, color was garbage. I’ve seen prison tats that looked better than this.
He just finished his last laser removal session — they burn the ink out of your skin. It vaporizes and he said it felt like his skin was on fire at the end of each session. But the tat is gone now with only a faint ghost. So to answer your question, it’s already been done.
Try that on the NY Times.
I do not think it would work on newsprint. But I am not completely sure about that.
How about a flamethrower?
Enviro-Nazis plotting again. Who is paying for their "research"? Duplex printing will not be enough for them?

So I can buy a “de-laser” machine ,, buy a cashiers check for $10 , de-laser it ,, and imprint my new amount ,, say $100,000.00 and change the recipient at the same time.. cool.
Actually the laser heats the ink particles and explodes them into smaller particles that your skin cannot retain , they get flushed out by your kidneys ..
But there is security devices in checks such as watermarks.
The man who designed those watermarks in checks is Frank Abagnale Jr. whose life was made into the movie “Catch Me If You Can”.
Except that carbon in the air is not really a significant problem. And the volume of carbon in paper used at today's (declining due to advances like e-book publishing) rate is such a microscopic fraction of the earth's natural carbon load that you could never measure the effect of your proposal.
And don't try to lay any "global warming" BS on us!
If you are truly commited to stopping "AGW" -- stop breathing!
