You can take hold of someone who is beaming, your shoes always get beamed, but somehow the floor stays.
Perhaps when you are beamed down from the Enterprise, they have a special floor, so the transporter knows where the floor ends and you start, and uses this information when it beams you back, as long as you don't wear different clothes or hold something. Couldn't the transporter be programed to duplicate whoever is being transported? If you got beamed down to a planet, and died, they could just make a new one.
Commander Riker got duplicated by the transporter once. And he got along with his double about as well as he and Captain Jellico did.
Perhaps some kind of autocrop function is involved, like photoshop. But then why duplicate? I wouldn't mind for a bit retouche.
A bit of drop-shadow and some local emboss? (And for that Arnie-silhuette, use perspective distortion)
But the real zapmagic thing is when someone/something gets beamed onboard. Kirk or whoever says BMUS, scotty pushes fader and zap here they are, distance, location etc. just dont matter.

A true Trekkie would know that the transporter's maximum range, during the time period in which the original series is set, is around 30,000 kilometres.

They've just repeated the Jellico episode (part two) on UK TV, an interesting character, not likeable but he was very determined to get the job done.
Like to get my hands on some of that transparent aluminum for my next amp project.... I've got the Mac.
