Suppose I never would have thought about this.
Microwave Ovens Used to Fight Crime

I can call my phone despite it being in the speed oven, so...
Interesting article although I wonder how effective it really is. Depending on the oven and the relative closeness to a cell phone site, the phone is still accessible to the network. Just like Alexander mentioned my cell will ring in the microwave at home and work.
The frequency of a microwave is about 600Mhz below that of normal cell phone frequencies. The wave trap at the door of the oven is probably somewhat frequency dependent so there is likely less isolation at the cell phone frequency. I posted a thread a few years ago where I tested a WiFi device in my oven. WiFi Channel 6 is pretty close to the microwave frequency. I found ~40 db of isolation, here is that thread

Finally I'm not sure how the remote wipe command is handled, as in if its queued somewhere. They will have to get the phone out of the oven at some point once a warrant is obtained and provided the battery is still there the phone will connect to the network again. I suppose they could open the microwave in a walk in screen room. It would likely be just as good to power off the phone but even that may violate the warrant,

I tried with my newer phones in many microwave ovens and they had reception while in the microwave oven... It did work with my old phone (but that phone already had very poor reception when it wasn't in the microwave!).
