Narrative:
Because of the events that happened in ny and dc, new approach and departure rules have been implemented. I was asked to call the TRACON via telephone prior to departure for a transponder code. I was on a special mission and the controller said it was taking a while to get a clearance, so it would be ok for me to depart, then ask for a transponder code in the air. Our base is approximately 25 miles from airport a, with a mountain ridge separating us. Upon departure, I tried to contact airport a departure control, but was unsuccessful. I continued the flight to city B for the pick up. Upon landing, I was greeted by the city police who instructed me to contact an inspector from the FAA. I complied and was instructed to file a VFR flight plan with the flight service for the return flight to airport a. I complied with his instructions. The remainder of the mission was uneventful. Note: city B is 50 miles from airport a.
