This smuggles eggs to another country. The kind of chicken is
"kornish" or just "ksh" for short.
>export PATH;
This is the trail the smugglers take.

This doesn't do anything. It's just to throw the border patrol off
guard.
>in
Determines the direction. In this case, eggs are smuggled "in".
>export USER; USER=`logname`:`tty | cut -c9-11`
The smugglers initials ("T.T.Y.") and codename (c9-11)
>export PS1; PS1=$USER:$HOME\>
>export PS2; PS2=$USER:$HOME\>\>
More gobbledegook.
>export ARCHIVE; ARCHIVE=/archive/southern
>export DATA; DATA=/data/southern
Direction from which the smuggling will occur. In this case, across
the southern border.
>export TZ; TZ=EST4EDT
>export HZ; HZ=50
Time zone and degrees from "Horizon" (HZ). This is technical
geophysical talk.
>umask 0000
The kind of mask the smugglers will be wearing. In this case, 4 zeros
refer to a standard ski mask with 4 holes (2 eyes, 1 nose, 1 mouth).

More meaningless stuff to throw the border patrol off guard.

For some reason, they're bringing an editor. His initials are
"V.I."... most likely it's the famous Victor Irving.

Indicates payment will be in cash. CWD="cash when delivered" and "CD
$*" means "currency demonination is in standard dollars".

More code words plus a reiteration that cash is due upon receipt.

This is their secret getaway plan.

Indicates eggs will be on the executive menu, so it's an important
delivery.

Similar to "bug out" or simply "leave when delivered". The
benefactors don't want the smugglers hanging around and acting like
tourists if you know what I mean.
Hope this helps!!!
