Narrative:

I went on line to check WX and routing for flight to maryland. Reported WX at both departure and destination. Both were VFR. I called dayton FSS. At that time I was advised about a tfr at dayton which would be in conflict with my routing, so routing was changed to avoid the tfr. There was no mention of any tfr's or flight restrs at destination airport. Potomac cleared to descend to 3000 ft and then to 2000 ft. Vectors for the VOR runway 5 approach. Cleared for the approach, frequency change approved, and then landed. The flight was completely uneventful. Taxied to FBO. Field was in very rough condition. Looked abandoned or closed. Passenger got out of the plane to see if he could find anyone to tell us where to park the plane and to see if there was telephone to cancel flight plan. He found airport security and talked for a few mins and then came back to the plane. We landed at a restr airport and preceded to tell us what airport security told him. The man's name was mr X. He asked passenger 'how did you get in here' and passenger said 'we flew in.' airport security said 'this is a restr airport, you have to have a pin number to get in' he said we would sort it out after we tie down the plane. Mr X told him to follow him to where the plane was to be tied down. We followed mr X in his car to park and tie down the plane. At that time he idented everyone, inspected aircraft, and secured with propeller lock. Back at FBO, mr X called FSS and advised that he had an alien aircraft they let in and asked for instruction on how to get us out. He was advised that a veteran pilot from the field could fly the plane out to maryland airport using their pin number. We left the airport thinking everything was good to the next morning. Sunday morning we were advised that a veteran pilot could not fly the plane out. We were told a form for a pin number was needed and that would take 3 weeks to get one unless we got a waiver from tsa. Tsa was called and said they could not do anything till monday morning. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: this pilot did not know what W32 wa a restricted airport in the dca ADIZ. He was told that they had been escorted into the airport, but never saw another aircraft. This airfield is within 7 mi of the white house and therefore needs special flight/passenger clearance, permission and a pin number for entry. They got tsa release on that following monday afternoon, departed W32 on their own and have not heard from the FAA or tsa.
