That aside, what does the word matter? Roses by any other name smell

A Kaution that is not given in advance is no Kaution. A bail that is not given in advance is no bail. A security that is not given (or secured) in advance is no security. For SteamWake English is native language - and he also asks you about bails not being payed.
