Look at it this way:  All the particles in your body can be known
to x% certainty.  The transporter rips you apart and puts everything 
back together with all the particles to x% certainty.  The uncertainty
of particles is part and parcel of their physical properties.  Two 
particles with x% uncertainty *are* the same.  "Identicle"
