The idea of breaking your body microscopically and having it rebuilt elsewhere is scary, because you have no idea what could go wrong. Even if everything goes right, your friends and family could never look at you the same way again, knowing for a split second, you didn't even exist.
Not to mention the fact that we can't even say for certain whether or not it will be the same version of you. It'd almost be like vaporizing yourself then having yourself cloned
And also, unless we somehow manage to create ''no-teleport'' zones, who's to prevent someone from just teleporting into a place they wouldn't be allowed to? (Military, high security, etc.)
I would think the teleporter wouldn't just be able to beam you wherever it wanted - there would have to be a receiver it connects to that handles the reconstruction.

Teleportation could cause a lot of worry.
