What happens if the target's wearing an aluminum-foil hat? No, seriously, I'm curious.

You seem the guy to ask this question of, why don't the tin foil guys just wear the old pre-Reagan, army steel pot helmet?
I don't know about the tinfoil...
But, I was under the impression that microwaves were used for cooking food because they had wavelengths which resonated with the bondlengths of the hydrogen and oxygen bonds in water. Thus, food with water content had high energy absorption and heated up quickly.
Same logic would apply with water in the body.
If that's the case, it's not hard to believe that sweat spots would heat up since they obviously have high water content.
But the idea that this would not be effective in a desert environment like Iraq doesn't make much sense.
If there's a materials science person out there, pls update me if I'm incorrect.
