Its not 100% perfect. People hide all kind of things for all kinds of reasons. Other issues can get in the way of Behavior Detection working properly as well. Medical, emotional, chemical. But it does provide us with another layer of prevention / security prior to someone boarding an aircraft.
So in essence you are saying that all this checkpoint search and screening rigmarole is insufficient to discover "something significant". Don't let your boss hear you say that (true though it may be). And spare us the layers BS.
Anyone exhibiting your "signs" is highly unlikely to be hiding something significant, as you put it. Check your track record; hint: drugs, money, false IDs, gel packs and blocks of cheese don't count. A player intent on harm is probably either a psychopath or exhibiting psychopathic tendencies which render BD useless.
Get back to us if (not when) your BDOs find anyone
significant.
