Just watched a DS9 scene when Worf and Dax beam up a Bajoran woman who is graphically killed during the transporter incident.I guess it is still the safest mode of travel.
Well that WAS a targeted assassination (the killer had planted a device on her that scrambled her transporter signal). You might as well be claiming tin openers aren't the safest means to open tins just because someone actively used one to bludgeon a victim to death.
