Personally, I don't think that there will ever be a conventional use for converting energy into matter because of the amount of energy contained in one human being. Think about it: if one human can produce thousands of hiroshimas bombs, then you would need thousands of atom bombs worth of energy to create a turkey sandwich.
Well, you could just take something else the size of a chicken sandwiche.....convret that. Also, what you are talking about is the total release of the energy in a nuclear explosion into kinetic energy, radiation and heat, but there are more practical forms of containing the energy.

Now imagine for the sake of arugment that teleportation were to be accomplish by converting a person into energy and you had the technology to reverse the process. In addition, you send the information along with the energy.
...you are convertings the body into pure energy and transporting that energy and info sooooo.....there is no problem with creating any doubles. You mean just taking the info, creating another identical body somewhere else, but not destroying the original??! I dunno, I would like to see it tried though!
