Are you sure about that? The FCC seems to think otherwise: > 17. I don’t use my cell jammer in public. Can I use it in my own home, business, or vehicle? > No

> No. Jamming devices may not be used regardless of whether the device is operated on public or private property. If you own a jammer, do not continue to operate it. You risk substantial fines (of up to $16,000 for each violation or each day of a continuing violation, or up to $112,000 for a single act); seizure of the device by the government; and criminal imprisonment. Signal jammers do not respect property lines, and federal law provides no exception that allows for the private or commercial use of a jammer. [1]
A Microwave oven isn't a jammer. It's an authorized device that has to comply with certain regulations, essentially the same as for other devices using the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

You must not interfere with radio signals on your property, except through static structures (you're perfectly at liberty to build a faraday cage on your property). Property rights have big exceptions. Property rights don't include : radio waves mineral rights air space (include "space" space above your property) Space is even a bigger exception in that it has been agreed that the airspace above a country > 100km up is no longer considered that nation's territory. You can't buy it, from anyone.
