. >>> back here at home, san francisco supervisor john ava lows wants to keep the -- avalos wants top the san francisco police department out of the nra membership. police chief greg suhr says the police department hasn't been an nra member since 2004 but he says he would still support that change. the ordinance would not affect the right of individual police officers to join the nra. >>> it is 7:55. the tsa is changing its policy on what can be carried onto a commercial airline flight. air travelers may start seeing small knives as well as golf clubs, hockey sticks and billiard cues in the cabin. screening agents were being distracted from looking for more dangerous items, they say. >> the idea if we have to look for and find and then somehow resolve whatever that prohibitive item is, that takes time and an effort. >> but flight attendants are angry about the decision. they say small knives and sports equipment could be used as weapons against other passengers and flight attendants. the changes don't go into effect until april 25th. >> that's a tricky one. >> yes, it is. >>> sal, ho

avalos? >> just i know that we are going to have this come back and maybe when it does, you or john can touch about how or whether they are inside of the rfp there was a question to support local businesses. because that has been coming up in conversation that i have with people that one of the contractors is better at than and i am not sure if that was part of the scoring that went on and if you could touch on that when you return. >> do you want me to tell you what i know now? >> sure. >> briefly, it is my understanding that there was not a component in the rfp that addressed the lbe partnering but that the contracts before you does have that as well as i know that the proposal of the folks that protested the award to clear channel. i know that they have a program as well. but the clear channel proposal before you does also have an lbe component to it even though it was not required as part of the rfp. >> thank you. thank you very much and i think as i mentioned before, i think that the questions that i like to understand are more around the other contracts that you have concession contract
