While it's good news and fairly simple to comply with, (raise the flashpoint by rinsing with vegetable oil), it still states "with operator approval" so that means the individual airlines still need to approve it. The Section 2 Limitations section states "... With operator approval in checked baggage only..." And it only applies to liquid fueled camping stoves where steps have been taken to nullify the flamability hazard. I suspect that it will still take ongoing pressure to get the airlines/operators to buy in, but educating the check in agents is definitely a good start.
