Given how empty the gm line was, I gave it a try.

When I have directly entered the elite security line at sfo (or any other security line anywhere else in the world), I have never had a problem. This was the first time this has happened to me, and I thought it would be helpful to share to give the OP data to consider per their concerns.

Hope this helps.
