Phoenix airport security checkpoint open again

PHOENIX (AP) - Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport says a security checkpoint at Terminal Four is open again after being closed temporarily Friday so police could check out an item.

Airport spokeswoman Julie Rodriguez directed questions about the item that prompted the closure to Phoenix police, who did not immediately respond to a request for information.

The checkpoint that was closed is one of four in Terminal Four and one of two that serve Southwest Airlines' gates. Southwest and American airlines are the terminal's main tenants.

Rodriguez says about one-third of Southwest's gates in the terminal's C concourse were cleared as a precaution while the checkpoint was closed. She says gates are open again and that operations are returning to normal.
