oh and please pass the tin foil

Yes, these weapons are being developed, mostly as non-lethal crowd dispersal. Get too close, and your outer layer of skin gets hot. Get back a few feet and it is merely warm.
The best protection isn’t tin foil - it is dressing like a responsible biker, with leather pants, jacket, gloves and non-conductive head covering.
