A bit off topic, but some of us with options from SFO or LAX choose LAX - SFO has nonstandard runway separation, meaning fog or any weather anomaly shuts down one runway from each pair, and causes slowdowns, diversions, etc. LAX is a better option much of the time because of weather - few believe how foggy it can get from late afternoon to sometime-in-the-morning during San Francisco summers, affecting even SFO on occasion,

By the way, this would be at midnight. Are LAX security lines still that bad?
Of course, the other option is to route through JFK, not that location really makes much of a difference to me.
