I remember reading something to the effect that teleportation's biggest challenge is:
1. the complexity of breaking down and reforming an object
2. the speed at which such a process can be achieved
Point 1. is already hard enough, but even if that is managed, at what speeds can we disintegrate and reconstitute an object? If teleportation is going to take longer that physical travel, then it would be pointless wouldn't it?

imagine arriving at the destination without your soul, or at least with all your circuit power down.
It's impossible to teleport through reconstruction method. A better solution is to use wormhole technique. By using massive energy, we tear apart the space, create the wormhole, walk across it. 
Another method is through time traveling. Say we want to go to US, which is 12 hours journey. When we arrive, all we need to do is to time-travel back 12 hours so we virtually arrived the moment we leave Malaysia! To another person, it's like we teleported. But it fact, we did normal traveling and time travelling. The cons is that we grow old faster.
Combine both, wormhole (space) and time manipulation, we get teleportation.
No need for headache of missing butt, cloning, scanning, checksum, etc.This post has been edited by Aurora: Jun 29 2009, 06:15 PM
