Not telling us why it fails for 'security reasons' makes about as much sense as a car that just says "problem" instead of low/out-of gas, lean/rich mixture, and so on.  It might be a trivial issue (say, your IP address which you could fix by remoting into your home server's desktop) or it could be that your bank refused payment (not so trivial as this usually gets your account locked soon enough).  This is coming from the same people that believe in total transparency when it comes to seeing your purchase and income history, but like a 1-way mirror when looking at their bureaucracy.  BTW, Illinois finally backtracked officially (in court) on sousveillance.   $12?  Haha nice joke since that 'large amount' doesn't even cover shipping for most international source/destination combinations with the smallest boxes.     ...
