we do believe that the expansion of the bdo program, which is the behaviors detection officer, that that program needs to be expanded in the airports. >> i know that's something you have experience with, the bdo, behavior detection. i do want to ask you this. this is a unique sit ways for the united states. is there a chronic problem? this is a tragic incident. >> we just have to figure out that almost every single major airport in europe was attacked or subjected to a ground attack. paris, munich, zurich rome, vienna, athens, all of them were attacked with a large number of casualties in many cases dead on the ground. >> well, it is shocking to think about we could be entering a new phase where protecting the -- and we do have this horrible history we have to be aware of. >> i want to thank you for being here. jay david cox. let's get back to wolf for the latest. >>> thanks very much, guys. stephanie elam is on the ground for us at the airport. what are you seeing? what's the latest right now, stephanie? >> reporter: wolf, what we are learning is the airplane plans to end the ground sto

. >> the bay area bike share program plannings for expansion for city wide roll out. >> thank you i requested this hearing on bike sharing in san francisco to receive an update on the initial roll out of the initial pilot program as well as future anticipated and much desired growth of the program so it can become a city wide program a few months ago we launched bay area bike share in san francisco san mateo and santa clara counties and that will increase to 500 bikes next year. bike sharing is a very important part of the future of transportation in san francisco in terms of becoming truly a transit first city we all want to have more access to biking in san francisco and this is a key part of that strategy. for people who have bikes they may not want to carry those bikes around with them all the time and having the option to be without your bike and still bike when necessary is important and in addition there are people that don't own a bike but they want to be able to bike when they need to get somewhere and muni or driving or walking isn't necessarily an option. so transit first is about

ar for the good faith effort that you guys have put forth with the providing multiple general contractors and expansion of the cap program. my first question is there a robert yoeb she representative? a couple of questions for you with regard to i'm looking at the contract awards and going down the block 5 and 51. and it seems that the contract for the common trade professions are being awarded to subcontractors that are not in the city. for example there was a drywall company in mill pit as. what was missing from that general process? >> i think what was really missing was getting bids in all the trades. we got bids from local subcontractors in probably less than half of the trades. what's hard in achieving in creating high percentages of participation is especially getting those bids in high dollar trades. the plumbing mechanical, electrical trades, the big dollar items. we didn't get any additional numbers from drywall. that wasn't enough for us. we went back out and searched the neighborhood and found a local subcontractor and he bid the project, unfortunately he was considerably higher and met with him personally to
