It's that simple.

In one of the should have been awesome,
But was not,
Alien vs. predator sequels,
A space travel capable group experienced alien hunting predators take off with the body of a predator with an alien in it.
No x ray.
No test.
No SOP for post alien TIC KIAs.
There is no accounting for movie monster logic.
The original AvP comics ruled. Like the very first comic series. Made perfect sense, had a staisfying plot, and a sensible ending.
These comics/graphic novels were made for the thinking crowd...movies need to be made for the paying crowd. Sadly it seems that the studio execs want to appeal to the broadest swath of movie goers possible, so, in their eyes, the slobbering masses of mouth breathing, neck bearding WoW'ers get mixed in with the people who enjoy using their fully developed frontal lobes to ponder the possibilities of creative thought (who seem to be the minority of movie going sci fi fans) as 'target audience'.

Interesting preview.
On a side note (for the thinking type movie-viewer), if this crew is technologically advanced since they're in the future, can travel light years away, have billions in funding, have technology to create AI humanoids and cryofreeze humans for long term-- why not create like an Ironman suit for the crew instead of standard space suits. You know, for protection from nasty aliens and such. Instead of walking around like idiots and get killed. It would make too much sense, I guess, and ruin the fun.
Presently it is too expensive and the tech really doesn't exist yet to deploy such suits to our military.
But a privately-funded outfit such as in the Alien movies with billions of dollars and decades into the future, shouldn't be an issue. I would actually invest in that tech as a primary safety measure and more efficient movement e.g. fly from the main ship to a remote location, have built in weapons, makes equipment carrying much easier.
But I digress. I'm still waiting for actual flying cars we were promised 50yrs ago (not some helicopter/drone)
