MOAs cover transition areas and training areas. Typically only areas of direct threat to
incompatible act ivies such as impact areas are Restricted. Take a look at Eglin AFB. One of the largest range complexes on the east coast. Combinations of MOAs and R. You will also see some Restricted airspace over high energy discharge areas, like areas where intense ECM and ECCM or laser testing is conducted. Tanker ops and the like would probably take MOA status... Siting range and training airspace is very complicated, and of course, bureaucratic. And if the Black Helicopters are REALLY doing something interesting, they would be Restricted, not MOA. The conspiracy theory would only work if they made all the airspace Restricted...
