Narrative:

The warning area (W-122) went active and about fifteen minutes later I let two aircraft transition through the airspace without providing a point out to giant killer. I noticed the issue when the aircraft were about 10-15 miles inside of W-122 and I immediately called giant killer to make a point out. They said point out approved. The contributing factor was that tmu put out a restriction for no parallels via the ar's and to help comply with this; I provided a shortcut for the two aircraft in question and forgot to point them out to giant killer when I did so.I should post a reminder at the sector that W-122 is active so I'm reminded of the active airspace.
