Since Continental TA can book me on DL metal (and issue a boarding pass for that DL metal) why can't the Continental TA issue a gate pass for DL airside? I was just trying to stay with Continental thru this process and not introduce a DL TA into the equation since I don't know the DL rules (i.e. the "GG Checkpoint" equivalent to Continental)

Again, Hopefully there is someone out there that has crossed the TSA screening areas successfully for partner lounge access.
