25 minutes is below the 90-minute international MCT at Metropolitan Oakland International. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. Terminals 1 and 2 are linked by a post-security pedestrian connector, so passengers who have already cleared TSA screening generally do not need to re-screen when switching terminals.
