Teleportation

There are a number of books and shows that deal with teleportation. Most of them shirt the issues. They don't talk about the problems. If you think about it there are many possible problems like ending up in the wall. teleporting into inadimate objects is a really big issue. You just can't step out of the chair after you materialize. Then there is the how. Is it magic? Or are you using technology? If you are using technology both star trek and the fly have dealt with the issues of teleporting. The fly was the movie about the guy who teleports himself and a fly. You've probably seen at least part of the movie so I'm not going to go into it. Lets just say it was gross. Star trek dealt with two possible problems. One was transporter psychosis. Another was ending up with two of you. Transporter psychosis dealt with mental problems that were caused by being transported. The other is self explanatory. I'm sure there are more examples of books that have shown teleportation to be risky I just haven't read them.
