| − | Transporters are a dangerous technology. There are a ton of built in safeguards, at the software and hardware levels, to prevent their misuse. This technology is so dangerous, that any society that develops it almost immediately signs up to all the myriad "non weaponization of transporter technology" treaties that exist.

| − | Transporting a living being requires a comprehensive scan of a living being's quantum biosignature - that's the information that allows a Transporter to reassemble a living being after beaming it to the destination. The quantum biosignature is the most critical data stored in a transporters pattern buffer.

| − | Storing a quantum biosignature over time spans longer than a few moments requires a lot of engineering know-how, and a substantial dedicated power source.

| − | Creating a duplicate living being whole-cloth from a stored transporter pattern, despite the records of it happening a couple of times, is not possible <i>on purpose</i>. Some of the best scientific minds have tried. 99.99999999999999999% of the time, such attempts have ended up in grisly, body-horror inducing style disasters. It. Just. Is. NOT. Done.

| − | The reason finicky transporter work is often done by more seasoned personnel is two fold - they have the experience, and they have the command authority to disable some of the built in safe guards to do things the transporter systems says are unsafe. Without these overrides, the transporter system's default is: "There's no interfering radiation, the target and destination aren't moving, we're at very close range, everyone involved has had their morning coffee, so sure, you can energize."
