...Fort Worth, Texas--block entry into cubicles, effectively saying "Busy" to would-be interlopers. In 2003 the company sold 1,500 "doors," which cost $30 each. Sales are up 300% this year.

Designed for open-layout work environments, the system renders speech beyond a 12-ft. to 16-ft. radius unintelligible with "pink noise" technology embedded in the furniture.

Having returned from a raid about seven hours ago, Golf Company's 3rd Platoon now heads out again with several other units. Past the ambush site, the men dismount, charging into houses and up to the roofs to get a birds-eye view of the battleground. Amidst sporadic gunfire, company commander Capt. Jeffrey Kenney radios that satellite pictures show the insurgents have moved west, and he directs his troops that...
