Transporting may or may not be line-of-sight but it
has, on many occasions, been through objects:
alien spacecrafts, inside buildings or jail cells, and even underground
if I remember correctly.

	So what?? Transporting, as described in one of the
books i read, as being a separation, then beaming, of the
individual atoms. Now, given that most substances have a good
deal of space between the atoms, couldn't a VERY high velocity
stream make it to its destination?? Transporting takes ALOT
of energy. Besides, they go throught the wall of the transporter
chamber every time, don't they??
