I used to be able to do that with the nickle plated antistatic bags
that parts came in back in 1980. The ohmmeter would measure several

tried it again, measured open even on the 200M range.


Yeah, it's been like that for at least 15 years. Anti-static work mats
aren't conductive either. So what principle do they use?
