Narrative:
At about XA00 1/sat/02, I and two passenger took off from ZZZ to ZZZ1 and back to ZZZ. We flew directly east from the slc TCA, climbed to about 6500 ft to stay under the TCA. I have made the flight path many times between ZZZ and ZZZ1 to stay clear of the slc TCA. I have made this flight plan many times between ZZZ and ZZZ1 to stay clear of the slc TCA. When we landed at ZZZ1, a gentleman told me there was a phone call for me. I was informed that I had crossed a portion of the tfr, and that there were two men who were going to speak to me. They were from the us customs. They explained that the tfr had been activated the day before 1/fri/02. I was aware of the many tfr's around each of the olympic venues and of the 45 mile no fly zone around the entire area of salt lake during the olympics, but had some how missed the fact that the university of utah was going to be restr two weeks before the olympics. I was then questioned by the secret service. The third questioning came from the FAA. In my zeal to stay clear of the TCA, I lost the one guide, that would have kept me out of the tfr. I have learned the importance of checking the constantly changing NOTAMS and will force myself to use approach control from now on.
