"This highly secure method ensures that the person who rented the locker is
the person who retrieves its contents" -- how does this improve security?
All it does is prevent a husband from picking up something his wife has
checked in a locker.

It prevents using lockers as mail drops for exchanges -- but the world is
full of usable drops, as real and fictional spies have demonstrated for
centuries. And have such drops been implicated in anything lately?
