Narrative:
I had an arsa clearance from emt to phoenix with handoffs all the way. I was in the phoenix TCA with lukes when they terminated me. I was told to squawk 1200 and if I wish, the controller said, I could contact phoenix approach, which I did. They questioned me as to if I had flight following or just flew into their airspace. I was given a phone number to call upon landing where I again was questioned and I gave my step by step story. I was advised that lukes was in the wrong, however, I was told how unsafe I was.
