Do I trust that an ephemeral pseudoscience concept of "teleporter technology" is safe to use...? No...? On what basis would anyone make that judgement.
Suspension of disbelief
Yeah but what if the government tells you it's safe and effective, and mandates transporters for all travel because it's good for the environment?
Are you willing to be branded a science denier?
What if they give you free food and an Amazon gift card?
Do I get air miles for the distance transported?
