The heatwave weapon can, by contrast, target troublemakers from
750 metres. It works by dispatching high-powered radio waves from
a vehicle antenna, similar to a satellite television dish, causing
the molecules in a target's skin to vibrate violently, creating a
burning sensation.

I wonder what type of defense will be necessary against such a weapon?

Metallic threads woven into the threads making up ones attire? Metallic
powders bonded within the fabric? Conductive carbon fibers?

Be interesting to see what offerings come about ...

I would suggest a thick cream loaded with metallic particles would do the
trick. Something like body paint or stage make-up should be thick enough to
stick to the skin and provide a protective layer. Or how about a body
stocking and tights sprayed with metallic paint? Mmmm, nice... :-)

Hmmm. Sounds more like a fashion line put out by that famous gay
designer--now, if I could just remember his/her/its' name? ROFLOL!

Great visual!

You could go the way of active armor on tanks and sew packets of microwave
popcorn all over your clothes. G

Wonder no more. The British Knights of King Authur's
round table have already solved the problem. :-)

P.S. Their previous problems were long bows and bullets
which this weapon seeks to avoid.

Hmmm. Now, if I can just figure out a way to mechanically fasten all
empty beer cans (I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FORM! :-) ) into some
suitable EM Armour which allows easy movement ...

If you take the time to do that, I can pretty much
guarantee you will get your picture published on
the web.

Let me be the first to predict this weapon won't go very far.. It will
not take the cell phone generation but milliseconds to realize that
staying behind a parabolic (more or less) piece of aluminum foil or
cut open beer cans stuck to a cardboard contraption will bounce back
the energy giving the troops/police backing up the emitting vehicle a
taste of their own...

Tin foil hats, anyone?
