Transporter Scramblers: (from "Nor the Battle to the Strong" [DS9] &
"The Darkness and the Light" [DS9])

Transporter Scramblers are electronic countermeasures that prohibit
transporter activity in a given area. There are no known ways to
overcome the scrambler, except through sabotage. Small scramblers can
protect a few rooms of a ship or station, while larger arrays can
block an entire planet. They are a standard part of Klingon ground
assaults and are used in the protection of certain spaces of DS9.

Remat Detonators: (from "The Darkness and the Light" [DS9])

Remat Detonators are a Romulan weapon, probably invented by the Tal
Shiar, that destroys a transporter pattern during rematerialization.
They are very small, only 2 cubic millimeters, and are hidden on the
person of the victim. Remat detonators are currently available on the
black market as assassination weapons. They are also undetectable to
most scans.
