The Star Trek transporter was more of a plot device (and a cheaper way of filming episodes without having to land the damn ship on every planet they visited) than a practical invocation of a potential technological breakthrough.
Cronenberg's take on the idea is interesting, but really disturbing too . . .
The 'dimensional shifter' technology in a TNG episode was interesting. A transporter device that was cumulatively dangerous to life forms with repeated use. Ouch. Seems like it would have been great for freight however.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
