Is it even safe to teleport a bomb? Most teleportation messes with time and space. If it is a timed bomb, it could explode on the way. If the bomb is radio-triggered, it could also explode on the way as it could receive many waves at different frequencies during transit. My science is quite rusty, but I wouldn't bet on it being safe to teleport a bomb.

There is one great explanation for why it doesn't happen in Call of Cthulhu in particular and one great explanation for narratively why it doesn't happen that often. But you asked the question regarding any game system where teleporting is feasible, and seem to want an in universe answer. That is a bit hard since each universe is a bit different, but I can ...

I also have most of my player groups that have detect ...

Let's handle the second one. Most RPG villains (hell most villains in general) are egoists and enjoy ...
