Exactly, the same sort of problem you can run into with the black
conductive bags (such as the black conductive bags IBM used to pack their
boards and drives in).
So why
aren't aluminized foil bags used more? I have a few--
basically a sandwich made of foil sandwiched between an outer
envelope of PE sheet and an inner linner of bubble material. Totally
opaque.
Being *too* conductive is not ESD safe. The idea is to let the charge
drain away slowly. If a charge drains too quickly, it can induce a
charge nearby that might not be protected, like something internal to
a component.
