I'm half tempted to try, but I already have TSA Precheck, and I don't think this would work at airports/terminals with heavy DL/ST presence.
Well at least an airport with a heavy DL presence might work because as you said, DL and other US carriers do not issue plastic cards. Ivory is an unusual name for a FF level so they might think it's some sort of special card. Could prove itself useful if flying AF out of the US without PreCheck.
