I agree that you would think that some of these scans would be useful. However, there's nothing there that the Feds cannot do too. Starfleet sensors are far more than lifeform scanners. We have seen them detect gases, viruses, materials and all sorts of things. In one episode they even got a lock on someone by scanning for just the minerals in their skeleton! However, despite all these systems, they still couldn't detect the Angosian. Also, we know that Star Wars scanners are far from perfect too. In Darksaber, the Taurill got into one of the Empires most heavily guarded vaults, and stole the Death Star plans without being detected. In the same book, Callista got aboard the SSD Knight Hammer and blew up the engines. In ANH, Ben and the other managed to sneak around the Death Star without detection for a while. Don't get me wrong, Star Wars scanners 'might' be able to detect them, but I don't see any proof that they could.
