	I disagree that transporters, assuming they exist, could not
	be used to remove the problem of the genesis machine. If you
	would recall the episode "Wolf in the Fold"...

	The entity who once was called Jack the Ripper, and who migrated
	to Rigel IV with mankind, and then to Argelius has taken over the
	Enterprise computer system. The crew and computer system (!) are
	given some form of a tranquilizer forcing the being into a "dead"
	body. The body is then sedated and placed in the transporter and...

		beamed out into space at the widest possible angle!

	Given that our only source of information about the Enterprise is
	the series and previous movies, the genesis machine could have
	been dispersed. 

	The "ionic" interference which blinded the Enterprise sensors
	would have probably caused the transporter to be unsafe (Because,
	it would not be able to reconstruct the transportee at the 
	destination, which is the exact effect desired in this case.
