Thats why i said wrap it in aluminum if you are really worried about it
so it makes you feel better.

Wrapping a flash drive (in safe deposit box)
in aluminum foil only helps if you put the
shiny side out, several layers of chewing
gum wrappers can help, but thick foil from
a restaurant supply is excellent.

I'm not sure where this is going, or what that meant. I always used
aluminum foil to short out pins, from static electricity. Aluminum foil
will shield electrostatic component of EMP, but not the magnetic component.
Mostly you need steel, iron, or mumetal for magnetic flux. There's your
steel safe.
