Hey, I never noticed that before....

Good call. Honestly, the total lack of security on the Enterprise is one of the biggest recurring flaws in Star Trek. They could have solved most of it through the addition of a line or two of dialogue in each episode where it really shows up. (City on the Edge of Forever, notably.)
Ultimately, Notably, Bridge Access was Never, Never, Ever Denied.
 
OMG even on the Enterprise D security was pretty lax, anyone and everyone could visit the Bridge any time they wanted.

Didn't Picard have a rule barring kids from the E-D bridge?
I seem to remember very early in TNG a scene where by staying in the turbolift when it opened on the bridge, space lawyer Wesley was technically not violating the 'no kids on the bridge' rule.

Watching I Mudd and there are a couple of things I've noticed. Harry Mudd is way taller than Kirk but that doesn't stop Kirk from manhandling him. The stunt man in the engineering standing in for Norman was so much shorter then Norman. I was wondering for a second if someone else was getting into a fight.
 
Could Spock have been beamed out of the reactor room in Star Trek II? It might still be too late, but not as late. And they had no way to know that dying would turn out so good for him.

I have ready-made head canon in which Scotty's first step to repair the warp drive was to scrap the central transporter system for parts. And Spock was just putting the finishing touches in place at the end.
 
I always assumed they couldn't beam Spock out in TWOK due to radiation or some such, and/or possibly his readings were distorted. I also don't think they would have had the time/manpower, and possibly capabilities at that stage. I don't think anyone would have been on duty in the transporter room.

By the time Kirk got there, then maybe. But the damage was already done by that point.
 
The question is, why do it? To save Spock? He's was in there trying to save the ship by restoring power in a highly irradiated chamber. It was too intense for any human to tolerate. Spock's Vulcan stamina or whatever made him the only logical choice. Beaming him out would have only condemned the ENTIRE CREW to death.

Spock made his choice.
 
Or beam Spock out after the ship is saved so as not to “flood the whole compartment “?

They did intra-ship beaming how many times on the series? Once?
