Narrative:

I was flying aircraft from ZZZ to ZZZ1 airport on a routine business trip. Just outside ZZZ2 airport, I witnessed a C-130 off my left side, as if as though it was leaving ZZZ2 on a mission somewhere. I was outside the delta airspace of ZZZ2, and just attributed it up to being adjacent to class D airspace and thought nothing more of the C-130 being within 1/2 mi. Shortly thereafter when I landed at ZZZ1, the FBO operator told me to call the numbers he handed me, one for ZZZ3 tower, and the other for ZZZ4 center. I did so, and we agreed that an authority/authorized would call back at the office 30 mins later. At that time, a man from FAA security explained that I passed through a tfr around a power plant by ZZZ5 city, and another near ZZZ6 city, where restrs 5000 ft and below had been posted. I had been flying a straight GPS course from ZZZ to ZZZ1 at varying altitudes. I had been in regular contact with my aviation association email bulletins, advising me of the tfr's in the east, and other than enhanced class B, never thought it would be in the midwest. I also read just that weekend, that the class B restrs were lifted the previous week, further assuring me that things were getting back to normal. If I indeed crossed into a tfr on oct/mon, it was unknowing, and unintentional. My previous flts had caused me to let down my guard to be extra careful to check on changing airspace, as I was believing that things were getting back to normal. I did check WX and NOTAMS before my journey at the ZZZ airport terminal. Better information gathering, and doubting one's 'old' instincts regarding airspace boundaries and the freedoms we have come to take for granted is what I can personally do to avoid any future incursions, if one did take place. Communicating this to other pilots will also create awareness.

Title: SMA PLT INADVERTENTLY PASSED THROUGH A TFR ENRTE ON XCOUNTRY FLT.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING ACFT FROM ZZZ TO ZZZ1 ARPT ON A ROUTINE BUSINESS TRIP. JUST OUTSIDE ZZZ2 ARPT, I WITNESSED A C-130 OFF MY LEFT SIDE, AS IF AS THOUGH IT WAS LEAVING ZZZ2 ON A MISSION SOMEWHERE. I WAS OUTSIDE THE DELTA AIRSPACE OF ZZZ2, AND JUST ATTRIBUTED IT UP TO BEING ADJACENT TO CLASS D AIRSPACE AND THOUGHT NOTHING MORE OF THE C-130 BEING WITHIN 1/2 MI. SHORTLY THEREAFTER WHEN I LANDED AT ZZZ1, THE FBO OPERATOR TOLD ME TO CALL THE NUMBERS HE HANDED ME, ONE FOR ZZZ3 TOWER, AND THE OTHER FOR ZZZ4 CTR. I DID SO, AND WE AGREED THAT AN AUTH WOULD CALL BACK AT THE OFFICE 30 MINS LATER. AT THAT TIME, A MAN FROM FAA SECURITY EXPLAINED THAT I PASSED THROUGH A TFR AROUND A POWER PLANT BY ZZZ5 CITY, AND ANOTHER NEAR ZZZ6 CITY, WHERE RESTRS 5000 FT AND BELOW HAD BEEN POSTED. I HAD BEEN FLYING A STRAIGHT GPS COURSE FROM ZZZ TO ZZZ1 AT VARYING ALTS. I HAD BEEN IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH MY AVIATION ASSOCIATION EMAIL BULLETINS, ADVISING ME OF THE TFR'S IN THE E, AND OTHER THAN ENHANCED CLASS B, NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IN THE MIDWEST. I ALSO READ JUST THAT WEEKEND, THAT THE CLASS B RESTRS WERE LIFTED THE PREVIOUS WEEK, FURTHER ASSURING ME THAT THINGS WERE GETTING BACK TO NORMAL. IF I INDEED CROSSED INTO A TFR ON OCT/MON, IT WAS UNKNOWING, AND UNINTENTIONAL. MY PREVIOUS FLTS HAD CAUSED ME TO LET DOWN MY GUARD TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL TO CHK ON CHANGING AIRSPACE, AS I WAS BELIEVING THAT THINGS WERE GETTING BACK TO NORMAL. I DID CHK WX AND NOTAMS BEFORE MY JOURNEY AT THE ZZZ ARPT TERMINAL. BETTER INFO GATHERING, AND DOUBTING ONE'S 'OLD' INSTINCTS REGARDING AIRSPACE BOUNDARIES AND THE FREEDOMS WE HAVE COME TO TAKE FOR GRANTED IS WHAT I CAN PERSONALLY DO TO AVOID ANY FUTURE INCURSIONS, IF ONE DID TAKE PLACE. COMMUNICATING THIS TO OTHER PLTS WILL ALSO CREATE AWARENESS.
