Abstract: A technique is provided to enable a baggage holder to smoothly place baggage on a conveyor belt. An inspection device inspects the baggage of a visitor using x-rays. A belt conveyor transports the baggage to an inspection device. On the surface of the belt, plural marks are printed at predetermined intervals along the transport direction. When the belt conveyor drives the belt, the marks move in the transport direction at the transport speed of the belt. When placing baggage on the belt, the visitor can easily perceive the status of the belt, such as its transport direction and speed. The inspection device may have a light emitter near the loading position where baggage should be placed on the belt, and the color of light from the light emitter may change to notify the visitor when baggage should be placed on the belt.
