There is, of course, a simple explanation as to why phasers can be fired
through the screens.  It is related to the way that the old WWI biplanes
could shoot their machine guns through their propellers.  It is simply a
matter of proper phasing.  You can't use the transporter through the shields
because the transporter 'signal' is substaintialy more complex than a simple
energy blast.

Working is fine, but I wouldn't want to make a career out of it.
