+Anti-Static
+--------------
+
+Great video about static disipative and static shielding bagies from EEVblog:
+<http://www.eevblog.com/2012/02/25/eevblog-247-anti-static-bag-myth-revisted/>
+
+Summary: "pink" bags and tubes just prevent static buildup (regular bubble or
+plastic wrap can generate hundreds or thousands of volts pretty easily just by
+rubbing; non-conductive foam is pretty nasty too). Silver/metalic baggies
+actually prevent external discharges or shocks from harming ICs inside. If you
+use a shielding bag, you still need to make sure all the materials inside will
+not build up a charge.
