Not trying to nitpick, trying to spread knowledge... Anti-static bags are in fact Faraday cages, just really bad ones. Being a Faraday cage is in fact what protects from a static discharge. But they only protect from electromagnetic discharge well because they allow surface charges to skim across the surface. Protecting from a spark or current which is an actual stream of electrons moving though a physical conductive material is very different from protecting from an electromagnetic field/wave that is propagating through empty space. In order for a Faraday cage to protect from a signal rather than a spark there are several more factors that matter. Primarily the grid size if it is a mesh cage and whether the cage has either passive grounding or active voltage potential. Grounding the cage or holding it at a steady charge is what blocks waves... The cage maintains a constant change potential... the wave has it own charge potential... If the wave has enough power it will overcome the charge potential of the cage and penetrate.

Cheese cloth makes bad condoms, what's the point?

Well the hope was that if you ever need a real Faraday cage you might be able to construct one that actually works... but apparently you are just interested in snide comments.
