They are the same as whats know to scientists as a farous cage meaning if lighting (in the case of the anti static bag a static discharge) goes around the object or person harmlessly.

When you need to power up your mother board out side of a case use the pink foam stuff mother board normaly ship with to set it on antistatic bags are a no no
