I just got another idea what if while you were in mid-transport the machine teleporting you was hacked
You would be at the mercy of a 12 year old Phillipino child who just thought he was downloading the warez for a new game. And what if once he gained control of the transmission his connection was interrupted because all the Jenna Jameson porn caused his p2p program to crash his computer. You would be stuck in cyberspace ove the ocean with an internet porn star....wait a minute this teleportation thing might not be such a bad idea after all...
Ok I'm going to go get some sleep now.
