It’s something that has bothered me since I realised

Or if they don’t have onboard sensors designed to do that then why not do that

Because someone who is unconscious or unable to move isn’t going to be able to call for help

    He demonstrated it was possible, and once a military knows something is possible they will develop the capability to make it a strategic one.

    We’re talking about hypotheticals, in this scenario anyway.

      Okay, so the hypothetical is that the Enterprise is now equipped with 1000 transporters each cycling the pattern of one crew member… Except it still doesn’t work anyway, because if the crew members are in transporter buffers they can’t be out doing their jobs at the same time.

          Okay, so the Enterprise installs 1000 transporters, enough power systems to run them all continuously, goes to the Thomas Riker planet, waits for a freak weather storm, duplicates the entire crew, puts all the duplicates in transporters, holds them there as backups… And then all of the transporter clones die as soon as there’s a battle and an EPS relay blows.

          That’s not how the Federation does things. They’re the good guys.
