I began my flight and flew to multiple airports when I was intercepted by an F16. He rocked his wings and I rocked my wings back then landed as soon as possible. After landing the police and secret service came and took a full report of the occurrence. On the day of the flight I was unaware of the TFR and did not properly check the area while making my flight plan. In the future I will carefully check for flight restrictions. I am currently getting training from a flight instructor on the subject and now know multiple ways to check the area prior to my flight.
PA28 pilot reported he flew through a TFR and was intercepted by an F16.
