Since "Wolf in the Fold" showed that the transporter could beam an entity out into deep space with wide dispersion of the atoms, why not do same with NOMAD? When they knew the thing was a threat and still had command over it, they could've beamed it out thinner than thin. Even at the end when they beamed it out before it blew up, could they not have done this? Who knows how explosive the thing could get since at the beginning of the episode it threw massive energy balls at the Enterprise! P.S. Towards the end of "Wolf in the Fold" when everyone was made slap- happy, imagine a confrontation with an enemy warship. Everyone but the Cap'n (and Spock) would be laughing.
