I wonder if a bunch of people with metallic-foil shields would reflect a significant amount of radiation right back at the operators (which is another reason why I suggested using a Bradley instead of a Hummer mounting. Well, a focused reflection requires a reflector with a figure better than 1/4 wave and you'd need to optimize for a fixed distance...
My 'countermeasure of choice' would be more like a transmitter up in the 28Thz (10.6µm) region. :)

The shields could be plain, straight cardboard rectangles covered in foil -- but if a whole BUNCH of them (like a mob's worth) were at 90 degree angles to beam incidence, then you would have a significant amount of radiation being reflected back, IMHO
