1. A baggage inspection device comprising:
a conveyor that transports baggage;
an X-ray scanner that scans the baggage transported by the conveyor by use of X-rays;
an endless belt-shaped curtain that shields electromagnetic waves emitted by the X-ray scanner for scanning the baggage; and
a shaft that passes through an inside of the endless belt-shaped curtain and that suspends the endless belt-shaped curtain;
wherein, as the baggage is transported by the conveyor, the endless belt-shaped curtain comes into contact with the baggage and rotates around the shaft, moving downward on an upstream side and upward on a downstream side in a transport direction of the baggage.
