The transporter detects and disables weapons mid beam. In at least one episode, they held a diplomat in the buffer to ask what to do about their weapon.
The computer differentiates. Not sure why this is such a leap. The system is able to perfectly rebuild you because it analyzes you as you come in. It needs to know what to rebuild so it scans every part to rebuild. The system is able to tell between a tricorder and a phaser. There is no way for a villain to capitalize on this if they’re the one beaming onto any Starfleet ship because Starfleet is in control.
You could attack the away party and nuke the planet but it makes no sense to do so. Congrats. You’ve killed a couple people from the away team. The only thing you’ve done is guarantee you’ll be hunted down by Starfleet.
The deflector shields prevent ships from ramming ships. The shields prevent matter from entering.
Anti matter is insanely volatile and you’re not going to be able to casually pack the ship full of it
Ships have been used as suicide vessels that let their warp drive go critical. They’ve done this on ships in space as well as entering space stations cloaked and then detonating.
🤔 So like, what would stop some diplomat from just bringing a suitcase nuke with them when getting beamed on board, and setting it off?

How the fuck is that even possible even by technobabble standards?
How would they differentiate a weapon from life-saving medical equipment, and why wouldn’t some evil villain capitalize on that fact?
Or just make the crew beam down on some planet for some meeting and nuke the meeting place?
Or just pack a ship full of antimatter and ram it into the Enterprise?
The whole way war is done in Star Trek is so fucking stupid 🤦

Nah, it is not “fucking stupid”.
See, that’s a logical and reasonable explanation and [email protected] ought to take lessons from you.
Ehh. I’m still not quite sold on that point, but I accept your explanations for the others.
