Then when they hit him with the microwave beam the emitter will explode when it hits the metal.

No the emitter. It'll be like when you microwave a metal container. It'll just pop.

Although, I remember hearing an argument years ago that the ionizing radiation that does the heating could cause the formation of molecules from the food that would cause it to no longer be considered food.

A Sentinel went down in California a few years back. A recovery team flooded the area and grabbed it quickly. Wasn't Fresno though.

Well that'll do then.(Gets back to work on aluminum foil suit)

So if you had an aluminum foil suit, a flying CARM would still toast you up unless you were very very very good at making them - an unsealed seam a half inch long would let in all the dance music.

There's some flux per area and intersecting less of that is good.

That only happens in microwave ovens because the oven cavity is a waveguide coupled to the magnetron. The radio energy in the cavity is still coupled to the emitter, sort of like it's in the near field.
A propagating radio wave like you'd get from a flying CARM or a CHAMP doesn't allow the emitter to "see" the load, because it's in the far field and not in a waveguide.

No didn't think it would actually work just being silly. A properly constructed shield though would probably do the trick, though I would guess you might still encounter reflections from unshielded objects around you.

Awesone some redstone workers infiltrated mufon and messed up their search. That's what people get for dealing with mufon. I say a child following the instructions of a detective pop up book would do a better job investigating the paranormal.
