The officers all worked the evening shift at a security checkpoint in the airport's Terminal B which services both Alaska Airlines and Southwest, TSA union officials said.
The three agents last worked Feb. 21, Feb. 26 and March 2, respectively, and two were stationed at the checkpoint's X-ray machines, scanning luggage and performing patdowns as needed.
The other spent their shift as a travel document checker and screened entrants at the checkpoint's known crew member access point.
Airport officials have yet to confirm how many travelers may have been exposed to the virus during the employees' shifts.
