S they give a phone number to call when you're on the ground.

I busted a VIP TFR 1.5 years ago. Learned some things for the futu

- If ATC or anyone else asks you to "call this number" you're under no
obligation to do so. It might be a good thing to do, or not. But you
are not required to do so. In my case I did call back which was not a
good thing.

- If you do speak to a federal person don't make false statements. You
can not answer questions but don't make false answers. In my case I
told them everything, which was not a good thing.

- ASRS ("get out of jail free")? Can be meaningless. I filed and it
didn't do squat for me, not even the extra time they added on besides
the TFR violation, for failing to get a briefing.

- If you're a professional pilot you simply must have an attorney before
talking to the feds. If you violate a FAR your best course of action
may not at all be obvious.

scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys
