I feel that I want a border guard more than this. This isn't going to catch someone doing something funny. (Like smuggling drugs out of the country, or smuggling other people out)

That's not what it is for.
It's simply to verify that what your passport says about you picture wise matches your face, and to be able to detain you in case you have an outstanding arrest warrant or open traffic fines.
That “border guard” is an immigration agent, all they care about is if you’re legally allowed in the country. The customs agents are usually after you clear immigration, and they only care if you’re in possession of something illegal.
