I am a little behind in reading net.startrek, but I have some
thoughts to the  discussions  of  the  transporter  workings.

Well, I think the transporter works on the idea of converting
matter into energy (light) and  converting  the  energy  back
into  it's  original  matter at  the  destination  point  not 
disassembling it as  suggested.  Therefore,  people  are  not
taken apart.  If  you recall,  an individual  knows  what  is
happening around him but cannot do  anything  about  it  once
caught  in  the  transporter beam.    Kinda  uses  Einstein's
equation  "E=MC^^2".    Remember ST transporter cannot change
the matter it transports.   There are intelligence  that  can
change the  matter  it  transports, but our transporter cannot 
do this yet.
