The Torn-Up Credit Card Application

I'm not a paranoid sort of person. Some waiter could steal my credit card number much more easily than someone who dumpster dives my trash but I use my shredder for just about all paper I'm going to throw out. Not because I'm worried about identiy theft, it's just a habbit. However this guy took a torn up credit card application, taped it back together, filled it out and sent it in. Several weeks later he received a credit card! Maybe I should be paranoid if only for the stupidity of the credit card companies.
