No idea if that makes a difference to being you. And there are some episodes where I think it's suggested that people stay aware during the transportation. But that must break down at some point. Maybe they are aware while still being scanned. And why isn't it painful?
Maybe the people being transported undergo death experience during scanning and deconstruction.
If it is the actual atoms being moved, How does the transporter effortlessly send people through walls?
