Sure! Just depends on how it was shredded.

The answer to your question is yes.When the Vietnam war ended and the Americans were pulling out of Saigon all the Vietnamese agents documents were shredded and a person responsible was supposed to burn them in an incinerator.The person was lazy and just left them outside by the rubbish bins.The Vietcong found the bags gave a team of people the task of piecing them all together. It took some time to accomplish,and they succeeded.The Vietcong them went and arrested all the hundreds of agents and all were executed.This is an extreme example why you should always incinerate your shredded documents

If it were a single document that has been shredded, it would be possible to reassemble it. But usually several documents are shredded simultaneously making it nearly impossible to reassemble a single document. Still with persistent effort it might be possible. Thats why all shredded documents are incinerated after shredding.

The Iranian student activist who took over the American Embassy put the shredded documents together. They got to identify the American agents and killed them. Burning documents is better, albeit more costly.

Tis possible but who will except it?

Definitely... which is why they advise you to get a shredder that cuts both ways which makes it much, much more difficult - yet, not impossible. Or, to burn any sensitive documents. Ideally, documents should be burned after shredding.

Sometimes it's not easy, but it might be done.

Yes, it's much hard ro reassemble cross-cut (chipped) documents. If it's really sensitive and the volume justifies use a commercial document desintegration service which either burns or chemically liquidifies the paper.
-
Yes there is actually if i am not mistaken a computer program to do it by looking at the letters at certain points. All you need is time.
-
Yep. Best bet is to burn things if you don't want someone to get a hand on them.
