🤔 So like, what would stop some diplomat from just bringing a suitcase nuke with them when getting beamed on board, and setting it off?
-
The transporter detects and disables weapons mid beam. In at least one episode, they held a diplomat in the buffer to ask what to do about their weapon.
-
How the fuck is that even possible even by technobabble standards?
How would they differentiate a weapon from life-saving medical equipment, and why wouldn't some evil villain capitalize on that fact?
Or just make the crew beam down on some planet for some meeting and nuke the meeting place?
Or just pack a ship full of antimatter and ram it into the Enterprise?
The whole way war is done in Star Trek is so fucking stupid 🤦

Even crazier, they can filter out disease in the transporter. That's how they don't bring plagues back onto the ship after going on away missions.
How do they tell what's a natural microbiome vs. crazy alien bacteria? Who knows, it's a fantasy space show. Just sit back and relax.

That's just a weak-ass cop-out and you and I know it.
Why even have plots if they have magic machines that can make any problem go away with arbitrary explanations of how they work that are neither consistent or logical within the rules of its universe?
It's stupid. And I can bet you're just going to respond "Well, I like it anyway so I don't care" in which case why even bother responding?
