That Wikipedia article described USPS PO Boxes. Private companies (Mailboxes Etc, etc) have offered similar services in the US for years, although they are not technically a PO Box. They may have similar requirements, but the link that you provided does not discuss it.

E.g. I checked and UPS offers a service called My Choice:

The CIA could just set up cameras facing a locker location (and possibly fit cameras in the lockers). Add some very expensive computing for facial and image [of the goods] recognition and you might be doing them a favour???
