I was always under the impression that it isn't less safe, it's just more energy consuming, because you use the 'long range effects' of the transporter (i.e. not being directly on the pad) twice...in dematerialization and rematerialization. So it just took more energy, and in emergency situations, you might not have that to spare. |
What about people? That's another problem. Not a big one, with internal scanners, but still a problem.
