Narrative:
In light of recent terrorist events, I have checked aviation news sources daily for updates on VFR flight restrictions, particularly in enhanced class B airspace. Prior to flight from jot to lot at XA00 9/wed/01, I checked kankakee, il, FSS for WX and NOTAM briefing. I was informed VFR flight for training and currency maintenance only was now permitted into enhanced class B airspace for private pilot ratings and higher. Based on this information and my night takeoff/lndgs currency requirements, I made 3 circuits with land/takeoff in the pattern at lot, just inside the enhanced class B of ord/O'hare airspace, then returned to jot (outside class B). I learned today 9/thu/01, that VFR flight is still not permitted without a CFI in this situation. I will utilize more information sources in future to avoid a similar tfr violation.
