Good enough that Snowden mentioned it in an interview, IIRC. Just uhh, don't forget about it and turn the microwave on later

I mean if you want to get really serious about protection... do turn it on?

Just make sure your fire extinguisher is nearby & is rated for lithium fires.

Usually I put food in the microwave before I turn it on
