For the first point, I like the way you think. Or even just remote self destruct the shuttle, which happens to be loaded with extra antimatter for totally unrelated reasons.
Second, the Kazon don’t have transporters themselves so would rely on Voyager to beam over the distinguished ambassador. Otherwise, yeah you probably should check these things out. I think there was an episode where someone removed weapons from people they were transporting aboard?
They’ve detected and disabled weapons that were in a state of discharge.
But does the receiving party, even if they have transporter ttchnology, necessarily have the ability to intercept and modify someone else’s transporter streams?
I suppose if the whole destination location was shielded in some way that prevented transporters, but their own transporter station exposed some kind of access point, like an antenna or whatever, then they could gain control of the buffer to complete the transport on their end?
So my headcanon would say that by default they do… if you beam from your transported pad to mine, I imagine that your system did the dematerialization and transmission, then mine does the rematerialization. Otherwise there’s no reason to go from pad to pad.
Ok so it’s the pads then. And I suppose if you are being friendly etiquette dictates you use the receiving party’s pads. Otherwise you could just beam someone down directly next to the pad, with weapons in hand?
There was an episode of TNG where the Romulans managed to beam an ambassador off a transporter pad through the ongoing transporter stream in an attempt to make it appear that a malfunction had occurred, so it’s definitely something where having a sending and receiving pad on your end can screw around with the sending and receiving pad on the other end.
Also there is at least one episode of DS9 that I can remember where they remove the weapons of all the Jem Hadar while they’re being beamed over.
I do remember some transport buffer analysis somewhere.
More recently, The Orville's first episode transported a seed, that would have passed theoretical inspection, but it was time accelerated so grew into a tree larger than the target ship in a second (where it got the energy or matter to do so is a separate question).

Couldn´t you just put the torpedo in the shuttle, though?
And don't people look at what's in the transport buffer before realizing the packet?

He has a little tie and everything!
