As people seem to be under the impression that metalised bags are highly 
conductive, I measured one, and it comes out to be about 4 MOhm/square, 
which is not very conductive by my standards.  In fact, within the 
measurement tolerances, my anti-static mat has the same surface resistivity!

I may be wrong about the pink ones though.  They had about 4 times the 
resistivity, but still on scale.
