Unfortunately this explains why I had to waste 10m @sfo (this was the 1K desk, the other line was far worse) to get a boarding pass for a flight to Chicago, because UA wanted to check my visa to my ultimate destination (LOS). I have generally been successful avoiding most lines but sometimes it is unavoidable.

I noticed that UA would not offer me an iPhone/UnitedApp BP for my return from MEX though I was able to email one for printing. Not great but better than waiting at the airport.
