Can we finally get around to working on a Transporter Beam please? I mean, all those other Star Trek gadgets are almost real, but you don't hear anything about Transporter Beam work. Do we really need telephones that take pictures or Plasma Screen TV's? I just spent ten hours in a cramped car with a hyper-active 10 year old, damnit. Get working on those Transporter Beams.

Side note- imagine the insurance premiums on those suckers if they ever do get invented. We've all seen "the Fly," something like that's going to be pretty expensive to pay off.
