   "Did you know a teleporter does not send the atoms your body is made of, only how you are put together?"
   "Yeah! You are a completely new person when you arrive."
   "That's why I'm not using them."

     @MicroSFF Reminds me of some sci-fi I read in my childhood. It was exploiting the same idea, *and* the concept of physical destruction of the original body to prevent duplication (which was illegal). Don’t remember the title tho…
