I would like to know how a Faraday cage works in laymens terms.

i am unable to provide a direct answer,

i do have anecdotal evidence of a similar device which DOES work and i can describe that to you...

then wrap on layer around yer head vertically...
poke holes for yer eyes and nose as you like, for this simple lil (similar to a faraday cage) device will protect you from;
all electronic listening devices (think fbi, cia, nsa, wikileaks, rookieleaks, etc)
alien transmission, even if you already been probed...
alien impregnation - absolutely flawless contraception...
bullets...
and, the christmas fruitcake...

anyhow, it works a lot like that...
