It could be your Starter, Battery doesn't have enough power, fuse and a few others. But those are the most common.

Maybe it had something to do with that radio-sender dealy in the key not being seated in the right place or getting a good connection?

I also didn't think of your security stuff. Is or was your key wet? Anything that can change the resistance value of the resistor on your key will not allow you to start your car, but I believe your security light stays on in that circumstance.

The key wasnt wet. When I first tried it i took the key out and put it back in multiple times. Then I waited like 10 minutes came back outside and the car started up fine
