     For an interesting treatment of the "you need to *need* ESP for it to
show up" theory, see the early chapters of "The Stars My Destination", an
excellent sci-fi novel by Alfred Bester.  The researchers in the book
learn to induce teleportation by locking the subject in a glass cubicle and
filling it with water, making sure that he knows it won't stop until he's
either dead or gone.  Eventually they learn enough about it to be able
to teach the technique without the threat.
