Claim 11:
12. An imaging assembly for security screening comprising:
an X-ray source emitting an X-ray fan beam;
an X-ray linescan detector receiving the X-ray fan beam;
a connecting member joining the X-ray source and the X-ray linescan detector defining an X-ray path from the X-ray source to the X-ray linescan detector;
a scanning actuator for moving the X-ray source simultaneously with the X-ray linescan detector while operatively connected by the connecting member to:
position the imaging assembly at a first angle such that the X-ray path intersects a first side of an examination area;
move the imaging assembly across the examination area to scan the examination area with a first translation of the X-ray linescan detector and a second translation of the X-ray source wherein the first translation is greater than the second translation, wherein the first translation occurs independently of the second translation; and
position the imaging assembly at a second angle such that the X-ray path intersects a second side of the examination area; and

a digital computing system to receive image data comprising a transmission X-ray linescan image of a subject.
