How is SFO security in T2, without precheck?

We don't have precheck and fly on Thursday in VX F. I know SFO T2 has priority line for tsa but how is the line? Our flight departs at 11:35, so what time should we arrive at SFO if we do curbside checkin (luggage) and then just priority line tsa? I want at least 30 minutes extra for snack shopping and of course low stress.

I'm trying to book my taxi and am trying to book a good time.

Thanks!

Michael

Last time I went thru T2 the regular line looked like it would have taken about 30-35 min. This was about 5pm on a Tuesday.

Today (6/30 Thursday) at 9:10am, tsa at T2 was very calm and fast for precheck, priority, and regular tsa. About 10 - 15 minutes? Trade off is having lotsa airport time, which I'll take over tsa wait time. At around 10:15am, tsa looked busier but I don't know how long.
