wouldnt aluminum make it more suspicious? then its kind of obvious youre hiding something. but i wouldnt know, ive never mailed out drugs before.

Many people say aluminium helps to block X rays but i think it s a myth
Lead helps to block X ray due to his density 11400kg/m³ but aluminium have only 2700kg/m³ so i think it s useless
just good for wrap the dope

bullshit! alluminium foil doesn't block x-ray.
your dope is a heap of organic molecules. organic looks different from metal on x-ray, and distinguishable.
if you want to block x-ray, you must submerge your dope in the similar organic enveronment to look as something inocent. but at this point i stop as i'm not willing to disclose my own stealth methods.

Theoretically aluminum can shield against electromagnetic waves, also x-ray.
But the thin layers used mostly are not enough.
There are different ways through which a material can block electromagnetic waves.
Scattering and absorption which often happens in high density, but it also works through the conductivity of a metal, and aluminum and copper for example have a good conductivity, and this allows them to absorb energy from the electromagnetic radiation pretty well, because of their free electrons.
But you would need a thick layer of aluminum, the normal foil is not going to do that well-

Also the shielding ability of aluminum is better (lot better) at lower frequencies, and thickness would need to be increased a lot to shield effectively against x-rays. Also at such high frequencies like x-ray denser materials with high Z are normally required because they have a higher probability of interacting with high energy electromagnetic waves, but theoretically every conductor can block them t some point, also aluminum, but you need a very thick layer which is not practical.
