BTW, these are issues to apply to all airlines, not just DL. As far as I know, no airline has yet made the technical and policy changes to allow this. I'm sure it's a low priority item, but it will come... eventually.
True, just because the TSA has approved it, it'll probably be quite a while before it trickles down and falls into place.
As far as the bolded part goes, it's true, for the PAX and leading freight carriers as far as being restricted. Many of the ACMI'S (that are also considered airlines) are fully capable of taking a JS'er international without the restrictions the passenger carriers have in place.
