[sdiy] Static Damage to ICs

[Glen]

I understand the dangers of ESD for individual components and unprotected
circuit boards. However, one thing has always puzzled me. Most of the new
electronic keyboards that I have seen, come wrapped in -very-high-static-cling-
plastic bags! Aren't the internal components of the product in danger of ESD
from the very-high-static retail packaging?

Shouldn't commercial electronic products be shipped in anti-static bags, just
like bare electronic components are?

Later,
