A clerk inputs the number of baggages 1, operating a baggage numbers input unit 41. A boarding pass read/write unit 40 reads boarding information including passenger's ID and flight number from a boarding pass 9 and generates baggage ID in accordance with the baggage numbers and the boarding information. A tag issuing unit 42 issues a tag 10 having recorded the passenger's ID and the baggage ID. The tag 10 is attached to the baggage 1 and read by a tag and container reading device 8. When a passenger P passes a gate 5, a boarding pass reading device 6 reads the boarding information from the boarding pass 9. The boarding information and the baggage ID etc. are recorded in databases 2A and 2B. A host computer 3 specifies a container 12 storing a non-boarding passenger's baggage in accordance with the information recorded in the databases 2A and 2B.
