Having said what I said, these aren't the sort of things used on the public at large. Johnny Q Public doesn't have anything to worry about.
Realistically, I'm certainly not interesting enough for the government to take notice of me, unless it's tax time.
If anyone wanted to prove that they were or weren't being exposed to microwave energy, you can get EM radiation detectors through various vendors.
Honestly though, people are much more likely to find sources of EM radiation around their typical environments, from cell phones, leaky microwave ovens (which can penetrate the body over 1"), computer monitors, TV screens, high tension power lines, and more.
I honestly don't think that anybody reading this board has ever been subjected to a directed energy weapon. Had they, they would be likely quite sick, and a doctor would have noticed some sort of tissue damage.
IRL, one company producing some of these weapons is Ionatron. http://www.ionatron.com/ Theirs are a class of weapon called LIPC, where an electric voltage is carried on the plasma created by a laser beam. They are designed though, at a minimum, to temporarily disable an individual. Were someone hit by such a weapon, the result would likely not be ambiguous.
Anyway, again, I don't think that anyone here is likely to be the target of these weapons. Unless you're trying to break into a high-security government facility, or a nuclear plant, or something similar, there would be no reason.
