Microwave ovens: safe?

I don't want to wander into foil hat territory but this question has been around for a while. One of my best clients, a couple who are weightlifting champs and personal trainers recently gave me a nearly new microwave to sell on Craigslist (and keep the money) or otherwise dispose of as they decided it wasn't worth the health risks.

I've usually pooh-poohed such notions but who knows? Clearly our species did not evolve over milenia using the things. OTOH, things that are hotter than cold things are such because their molecules are moving/vibrating faster. A microwave excites the molecules and makes them move faster. Would that really be a problem?
