Just occurred to me that the humble microwave should be a fairly effective Faraday cage, certainly for the microwave spectrum, anyone know how good it is for the relevant communication frequencies?

A while back I used one of these Ubertooth Ones: https://greatscottgadgets.com/ubertoothone/
It could measure and plot signal in the 2.4G spectrum for both Bluetooth and WiFi. One time, my wife tossed a burrito in the microwave. The spectrum chart went nuts. White noise.
Unless microwave shielding has greatly changed, there’s a lot of leakage. You’re better off getting one of those shield pouches off Amazon or AliExpress.
