Good luck on that one.
You're right, but if you allow the photons to travel first and then collapse them, the laws of physics are preserved despite the information being known before light can make a return trip.
But it doesn't work that way unfortunately, you can't transfer any useful meaningful information using entanglement.
Say you have two entangled electrons, you don't know what spin they have, but you know that they
must always have an opposite spin, either 1/2 or -1/2. Until you measure it they essentially have both spins at the same time, or 0. The chance of getting either spin when you measure is exactly 50/50.
You send one electron to your friend(B) on another planet and keep one for yourself, you still don't know which spin either has until you measure it, they still essentially have a spin of "0". So you measure the spin of your electron, and it's 1/2 (50/50 chance of being 1/2 or -1/2), that means the other one is now no longer in the 0 state and is now instantly in the -1/2 state. However, your friend(B) at the other end doesn't know this until you either send a regular light speed communication to them, or they measure it themselves.
The first scenario means no information is sent faster than light anyway as you had to use regular light speed communication to let your friend(B) know the state of your electron, and thus their electron too.
If your friend (B) decides to measure the electron at their end, they still don't gain any information (until they measure it, or you tell them, it's still spin 0 for all intents and purposes), all they know now is that the electron at your end is 1/2 spin... But they don't know that you know that, until you communicate with regular light speed communication... Even then, knowing which state the electron is at either end doesn't really tell you anything useful other than the state of the electron at each end, seeing as there was a 50/50 chance of it being either until measured...
Here's the problem: You'd need to be able to force a
change in the state of one or both of the entangled electrons in order to send information, but you can't do that as it breaks the entanglement and they'd return to being regular electrons with a 50/50 chance of being 1/2 or -1/2 independent of the state of the other. That's my understanding at least.
Quantum entanglement/teleportation is interesting, and has potential uses, but FTL communication isn't one of them, at least not with our current understanding of physics.
Sorry if that's not the best explanation. There are better explanations out there. It's hard to wrap your head around...
I'll bet it is the HeNe PS...

That's what I'm thinking too...
