... but I do work with RF engineers. The controlling factor, I think, is the power required to project microwaves and the distances that are being described, which would require a focused beam from a dish like high gain antenna. Other wise it would just disperse over the distance and lose power.

In the GQ Article above, a supposed attack was conducted on an individual in a restaurant dining with colleagues. But he was the only one that experienced it. I don't see how the physics would allow for that to happen, in public, from a distance, without affecting everyone and being obvious to all.
