[/quote] I heard the same thing but.. most of microwaves leak. Here is a good laugh for you...After I saw the video below I went to Lowe's and put my Cell phone in every microwave they had on display. The guy who worked in appliances was so intrigued with what I was doing that he helped me conduct the test. To our surprise the cell rang in every microwave but one. I don't remember the brand name but I do remember it was the most expensive one they had! In conclusion...Better build a faraday cage...unless you own a $500 microwave.

With all the CME stuff going on I thought I'd post a page where this guy gives a DIY faraday cage. Pretty cheap actually. Would be good to put some basic supplies like a flashlight etc in case an EMP does happen. An older car would be good or duplicate circuit boards for your current car in a faraday cage just in case.
"With radio's and smaller appliances, a Faraday cage can be built by using two cardboard boxes: one should fit tightly inside the other, and the item to be covered should itself fit reasonably well inside the smaller box. That is about the most work involved--finding the right size boxes! The outer box is then covered with aluminum foil or Mylar, as from a cheap "space blanket." A grounding wire is then taped to the foil. I then cover the foil with black 6 mil plastic, taped securely in place, to protect the foil from ripping. At the end of the ground wire I attach a cheap small alligator clip from Radio Shack. The item to be protected is placed inside the inner box, which acts as insulation from the outer box, and any EMP hitting the foil and is bled away by the ground wire."
