For any of you interested in pursuing the matter of transportation
(pun intended), I recommend:  "Rogue Moon" by Algis Budrys (I don't
have the book anymore so I may have forgotten the exact title).  It
starts from the premise that there is a matter transporter and then
deals with some of the ramifications of such a device.

On a less serious note:  it was once pointed out to me that if matter
transporters were to be invented and got into widespread public use,
the logical place to locate the devices would be at International House
of Pancakes restaurants.  Then, users of the transporters could wear
little buttons saying:

    I Hop from IHoP to IHoP.

Sorry.
