Re: the use of matter transmitters to dress you on the way to the theater and cleaning up your insides: Larry Niven's novel "A World out of Time" uses displacement booths for just such a purpose. (Slight spoiler) In one scene, our hero jumps into a displacement booth and pushes the button, trying to get away from the bad guys. Much to his suprise, he goes no where, but he notices that a cloud of 'stuff' appears in the booth across the room. He runs off, and later we find that the colour is returning to his hair, etc...
