I'd expect embassy in a potentially "hostile" country would have basic detectors for common suspects - ionizing radiation, ultrasound, strong EM waves, common toxins etc. Especially once the suspicion is there: detecting microwaves that are strong enough to cause biological effects isn't hard (wideband antenna, detector. The energy density must be immense), even outside of the main beam - it will scatter all around.
