Gents,
did you ever heard of a MITM(Man In The Middle) shipping option?
for example, lets assume there is a facility by a big city that all packages will be sent to,
the facility will be owned by a quick delivery company that will hand the package to the end client.
a vendor will send the package to the facility with encrypted address that can be decrypt by the MITM.
the MITM will transfer the package without any knowledge to its content, and will be trusted by all parties.
the shipping to the MITM will be shipped by USPS or any other delivery company.
do you think it is possible to do? do you think it is legal? what kind of problems can you see in this form of shipping?
Thanks

Yes, it's possible, it's legal and such services already exist, BUT: it's suspicious, unhandy and does not prevent you more from being caught than the current methods.

Thanks,
I am interested, how can you get caught? if the MITM will know when there is a police suspicion on the package, they will easily can ship it to a different address?
although, I see another problem, that it might be used as a hub for the police to catch the whole network
