Milano Malpensa (MXP) flying LX eco, access Sala Pergolesi as a Senator
already now, before april-1st-2006, I got access at the Sala Pergolesi when flying LX to ZRH in eco (showing my Senator card).

you also get a 15 minutes Internet access card from the concierge (they fotocopy your passport) free.

That's excellent news. Good to now that you get a card for 15min internet access (for some posts on Flyertalk).

There is an Italian law that stipulates that noone may use the internet anymously, which is why internet cafs etc. have to copy your ID and WLAN hotspots etc. only work with credit cards...

It is anti-terrorism related as internet and emails were apparently being used by al-Qaeda to communicate between cells. In theory, there is a way to trace back who was using what computer where by having everyone identify themselves.
