The microwaves which are used in the "active denial system" are a higher frequency than your home microwave oven, they can go through thin foils, and they also heat water molecules (just like microwave ovens). The difference is they work too well, and only heat the first layer of water near your skin. This is where you have most of your nerve endings, and the result is pain. It is this pain which forces compliance.
A true ADS shield then would consist of some layer of water trapped in a sheet (a doggie piddle pad for instance) between you and the beam, with insulation between the handle and the pad... The water in the pad can heat up (and act as a big heat sink) and thus you can go elsewhere with a minimum of damage to yourself.
There is a minimum safe distance (the beam gets hotter per cubic meter of beam as you get closer to the source - commonsense - and strategically you can use this against them. Get close enough and you force them to Choose: turn it off or explain the dead folks to the media.
Likely they would deploy this on long stretches, above and behind a police line to minimize the closest unchallenged approach. Use this as a geographic template for predicting where to find the thing(s). Keep in mind it is essentially a doppler radar tuned for water if you use it at full range, and thus weather people who have these systems MIGHT be able to remotely detect the thing in its operational state. Keep an eye on open source weather doppler sites (cloud tracking sites) during reported use of the device(s).

Olympia :
Metals REFLECT ALL MICROWAVE BANDS- INCLUDING 95 MHz AND ANY BAND USED by the Active Denial System.
Blocking the beams using metal foil or fine wiremesh has nothing to do with heating water.
Do not be misled.
The Blocking System WORKS as I report. Period.
There is a bit of truth to both points.

I am no non lethal weapons expert but from my research metal will interfere with its effects, HOWEVER you aren't going to just hold as piece of metal up and "block" it, the metal will act as an antenna and disperse much of this energy around it to you. You'd need a proper faraday cage to mitigate its effects. The energy can't be deflected or blocked- it must be absorbed and directed to ground.
As far as I'm concerned a government planning to deploy this against its own citizens is out of control and out of touch with reality.
Instead of planning for expected riots, why not fix the problems you think will cause them?
Next hot thing: Wallet sized faraday cage, for anonymity of the ID cards with
RFID's.
