The federal government in particular -- in cahoots with even state and local government employees -- has been doing a lot of creative things to circumvent federal law, even circumvent various elements of the US Constitution that articulates the rights of the people.
Federal government partnerships with the private sector have been taken on to do all sorts of evasion around restrictions or requirements placed on the federal government.
Federal government partnerships with foreign governments or foreign corporations have been taken on to do all sorts of evasion around restrictions or requirements placed on the federal government.
Federal government partnerships with domestic corporations or individuals have been taken on to do all sorts of evasion around restrictions or requirements placed on the federal government.
Then there is what the federal government does itself by off-shoring/outsourcing personnel and/or activities.
The federal government loves the "see something, say something" program -- it enables a more massive monitoring of even US persons who have violated no law and are unlikely to be lawfully subject to police authority under an applied standard of reasonable suspicion or probable cause applicable to LEOs well within the US.
The MOA is but one of many places where this kind of thing is occurring.
