You've done a nice job here of clarifying that 'quantum teleportation' is exciting for the ability to securely transmit information, but as yet is a very long way from the ability to teleport objects or people. Like you, I'd love there to be teleportation available for people: no more long flights, and without the commute I could live on a beautiful beach far from everyone and still get to work.

For the moment, though, the really cool thing is that quantum teleportation of information is 'tamper-proof': if someone looks at the information, that constitutes a 'measurement' and collapses the wavefunction, so the information will change in nature, and that will be immediately obvious at the destination when it is compared with its entangled 'twin'. It means we will infallibly know if someone has looked at our information while it was in transit.
