It also uses a shit ton of energy, so it's more economical for docking bays when you need to unload a ton of people or cargo. Also, a lot of religious diplomats refuse to be transported. It's a security risk, too, though, since transporters filter harmful shit and deactivate weaponry.

I'd also assume you'd be able to undock while the shields are up during an attack. It's also Cardassian, so who knows how reliable their shit was.

Unfortunately this is wrong, but I'm assuming there's some lead-in before this that would make me understand the joke at the end that I'm missing...

First it would be impossible to assume that there would be every single type of molecule or element that makes up a human body at any one location. Second, the disassembly doesn't just disseminate into the ship like they're all standing in thousands of people's dust clouds. That's ridiculous. Third, it's not a copy, matter is converted into energy, teleported, and a reassembly of the original atoms, molecules, and even some argue the soul, katra, quantum mental pattern. It's all the original you. You could say you're dead during the process and resurrected on reconstruction, but it's still all the original parts.

Below is a pic of my nerdiest of nerd collection of Star Trek related books.

The Physics of Star Trek, Nitpickers Guide for Next Generation Trekkers, Star Trek Visual Dictionary, Star Trek The Next Generation Technical Manual. Oh, an Beyond the Clouds, by Richard L. Jeffries, the brother after which the design and concept of the Jeffries tubes were named - which is a biography on the Jeffries family that leads into all of the designs and concepts behind the tech in the Original Series.

The dust on those shelves is disgusting and I KNOW YOU KNOW IT because of the marks left by moving things around on it.

EDIT: Also, that original softcover Jurassic Park is HAWT.

That's just the dust from all the disassembled people who have gone through the transporter. No, but really it's like 2 years of dust and I really need to clean it up, but it's a pain in the ass moving all the stuff around. That's just two shelves out of 4 tall book shelves full of action figures and shit. Need to get some acrylic doors or something.

"Does anything scare you, doctor? Anything irrational?"

And in universe even Broccoli was scared of the damned things and he was an engineer. Heck, the Will Riker/Thomas Riker transporter accident more closely fits the fax analogy. That was not one person reduced to bits, zipped to a location and put back together. Two beams doesn't give you two sets of atoms. Between all the different ways we see transporters used on top of the replicators and holodecks that share some of the technology I'd go everywhere in a shuttle.
