Faraday cage: using foil Twisties packet to hide from your boss

An electrician in West Australia has been busted putting his phone/electronic PDA in a Twisties packet to kill the reception.

Here's the ABC story http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-27/employee-sacked-over-chip-packet-deception-faraday-cage/9196732 


The metallic foil of the packet acts like a Faraday cage, so I decided to give it a try with some foil chocolate wrapper.

And then I tried the microwave - it's supposed to be a Faraday Cage. But not so successful! Does it mean I'm being cooked every time I switch the microwave on??
