Quote: Not for the class B airport. This applies to class C, D, and an operating control tower in other airspace (temporary tower).
I understand that this only applies to Class C and D airspace. I don't think a temporary tower counts unless there is also class C or D airspace associated with the temp tower.

Quote: Maybe I'm old school but I don't ever recall ATC informing anyone that they were going to vector them outside of the "Bravo". The FAA notice of investigation is usually your first indication that you were under the Bravo and not IN the Bravo.

Keep your situational awareness by using your charts. If you have FMS and Glass - you might also build some rings around the airport on your multi-function display. This will help keep you more aware of where the surface ring and the next ring are located.

RED FLAG - Long finals with low altitude.
ATC is allowed to give you a clearance that puts you below class B airspace. You just have to make sure you are at or below 200 kts when exiting class B airspace.
