Thank you for any input on this matter.
When you get into MXP, expect to have to reclear security and then enter the transit area. (That is standard practice at MXP). In practical terms, for the MXP-IAD flight the new security restrictions will be applied but they are to be applied by the gate (or also at the gate). I don't know how draconian the new restrictions are for the AZ MXP-IAD flight other than liquids/gels are prohibited. If I end up going via MXP later this week, I'll try to find out and post.
To avoid nasty gate-side surprises, I'd plan on as little carry-on luggage as possible until we find out exactly what is and is not allowed for AZ's Italy-US flights.
