In practical terms, the transporter in order to preserve quantum identity, would need to be reproducing you at the same time as it destroys the old you. To be widely accepted by society, it would need to preserve consciousness continuity, so you'd briefly feel being in two places at the same time, then just at the destination.
Now, a power failure mid transfer... wouldn't be pretty.
