Narrative:

Intent: pilot and passenger leave XXX, pick up second passenger at YYY, then continue to ZZZ. On 9/thu/01 approximately XA30 EST: after listening to media reports of lifting airspace restriction, call YYY FSS to verify. FSS informs me all restrictions to be lifted effective WC00 EST. I obtain weather briefing for route of flight and file instrument flight plan from YYY to ZZZ. Proposed departure time XG00 EST. Briefer ask if I wish to file VFR plan for XXX-YYY leg. As this is a 25 KM leg, I declined. Leave XXX at approximately XF30 EST. Upon arrival at YYY, I am met by YYY police. AAA approach is on phone, wanting to talk to me. Approach informs me airspace is only open to IFR part 135 flts. After further discussion with approach and other parties, I find that the FAA reversed their decision sometime after XC00 EST.
