===Disabling active weapons===
By the 24th century, the transporter had the capability to disable any active weapon during transport. This could be accomplished by removing the discharged energy from the transporter signal (TNG|Datalore); by deactivating the weapon (TNG|The Most Toys); or by removing the weapon from the matter stream entirely so its holder rematerialized without it, which could be accomplished by implementing Transporter protocol 5 (DS9|To the Death).
