Narrative:

Flying VFR 500 ft AGL. Followed the current washington sectional using a new garmin 295M a trimble tnl 2000A, an argus 5000 moving map. I flew through the VFR corridor under the class B all of which show VFR surface to 3000. I continued to ZZZ when I contracted tower to transition through their airspace, I was advised to contact approach. When I landed at ZZZ1 airport to call them, they were already on the phone. I have since been contacted and questioned (in person) by the secret service and FAA. I did not realize I violated a temporary flight restr. I knew there were tfr's after 9/tue/01. However, the last time I talked to FSS, I was under the assumption they were all lifted except over large gatherings (3000 people) such as sport events. I was not aware of NASA's ASRS. I am attending FAA safety seminars. Suggestion: the new washington sectional which just came out still shows the same VFR corridor where I went through. Is 5 months temporary? If this has not been lifted since september, then the people who print the sectionals should put a big red circle with white dots around this (indefinite?) flight restr so a pilot can say 'hey, I better check this!'

Title: A SMA PLT VIOLATED A TFR INVOLVING ENHANCED CLASS B AIRSPACE.

Narrative: FLYING VFR 500 FT AGL. FOLLOWED THE CURRENT WASHINGTON SECTIONAL USING A NEW GARMIN 295M A TRIMBLE TNL 2000A, AN ARGUS 5000 MOVING MAP. I FLEW THROUGH THE VFR CORRIDOR UNDER THE CLASS B ALL OF WHICH SHOW VFR SURFACE TO 3000. I CONTINUED TO ZZZ WHEN I CONTRACTED TOWER TO TRANSITION THROUGH THEIR AIRSPACE, I WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT APCH. WHEN I LANDED AT ZZZ1 ARPT TO CALL THEM, THEY WERE ALREADY ON THE PHONE. I HAVE SINCE BEEN CONTACTED AND QUESTIONED (IN PERSON) BY THE SECRET SERVICE AND FAA. I DID NOT REALIZE I VIOLATED A TEMPORARY FLT RESTR. I KNEW THERE WERE TFR'S AFTER 9/TUE/01. HOWEVER, THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO FSS, I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THEY WERE ALL LIFTED EXCEPT OVER LARGE GATHERINGS (3000 PEOPLE) SUCH AS SPORT EVENTS. I WAS NOT AWARE OF NASA'S ASRS. I AM ATTENDING FAA SAFETY SEMINARS. SUGGESTION: THE NEW WASHINGTON SECTIONAL WHICH JUST CAME OUT STILL SHOWS THE SAME VFR CORRIDOR WHERE I WENT THROUGH. IS 5 MONTHS TEMPORARY? IF THIS HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED SINCE SEPTEMBER, THEN THE PEOPLE WHO PRINT THE SECTIONALS SHOULD PUT A BIG RED CIRCLE WITH WHITE DOTS AROUND THIS (INDEFINITE?) FLT RESTR SO A PLT CAN SAY 'HEY, I BETTER CHK THIS!'
