I am interested in the activation of the cards by the cashier. It seems  
like a really good idea, but would certainly raise costs (esp  
purchasing the activation machines). What are the alternatives for  
security?

Here in Jamaica, almost everyone uses prepaid cellphones. At first the  
cellphone companies sold only physical cards. Now you can buy the cards  
(the PINs really) online and also the retail distributors often have  
electronic terminals that print out the PINs right then.

How feasible would it be to have cashiers get and print the PINs  
online? I have the actually web part covered. I would be more  
interested in the logistics (such as availability of computers and  
internet to cashiers). Or is there some better way to provision PINs at  
the register? I've heard of cards where the attendant writes the PIN  
down on a piece of paper and hands it to the customer :)
