Film storage

[Sirius Glass]

Aluminum foil may not protect you from cosmic rays, but if you make it into a hat, you can probably find lots of room for yourself on the bus.

Yes, aluminum foil makes an excellent hat.

"Cosmic rays" are not electromagnetic radiation but particles. The higher energy ones pass through the entire planet, so a piece of sandwich foil really isn't going to help very much. The underground vaults mentioned also have a very constant temperature and humidity which probably reduces storage costs considerably.
