These days it's not just semiconductors at risk given the tiny geometry of
passives.  At work we had a work station where we assembled a board with
all passive components, so no thought was given to ESD control.  We traced
a series of mysterious failures to ESD affecting the value of some
resistors.  Now ESD control is just about everywhere!
