How come on Star Trek when they want to teleport, they go all the way to the teleporter room...?
How come on Star Trek when they want to teleport, they go all the way to the teleporter room, and get on the pads? They can teleport to and from anywhere in the ship, a planets surface, etc. Why doesn't Picard just chill in his Captain's chair and let them whisk him to the surface from there? Is the Turbolift repair team Unionized?
I think that when they teleport from remote locations they always ask them to "lock onto their location" which seems to have risks, though yes, minuscule.
I agree that it would be safer to go to the teleport room itself and have the pads lock onto your "signal" and beam you to wherever.
We must note:
There was that one episode where they made two Rikers because there was a teleport screw up/deflector shield mess up in "Second Chances":

Though that was due to old teleport technology I think.But still, warnings that telepotation has to be taken with great care!!
Great great question!!!!
Keep them coming.
