I believe I DIDN'T actually I went back and reread my original post. I said "...what the heck's going on..." At no time in the post did I say that I asked anyone from DL to intercede (nor would I have). If the agent had told me this was something new, I was prepared to surrender my trusty Tumi and reluctantly purchase something smaller (I've been pondering a new bag anyway because mine's become somewhat worn, but I can't find any that I can pack suits or sport coats in and my current bag allows me to do so, even though they come out very rumpled. I digress - sorry.) when I returned.

Again, note that I was nowhere near a gate. I wasn't even at the security checkpoint :/
