PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- All three security checkpoints at Philadelphia International Airport that closed last month amid the partial government shutdown have now reopened.

The checkpoint at Terminal F reopened Tuesday morning as scheduled.

The Terminal A West and Terminal C checkpoints reopened last week.

TSA had closed the three checkpoints to consolidate operations due to staffing shortages.

TSA officers were working without a paycheck, with dozens calling out sick, leaving travelers in long security lines at airports across the country.

President Trump signed an order directing the Department of Homeland Security to pay TSA officers, who started getting those paychecks last week.
