American Airlines pilot Jerry Leekey practiced breaking a man's nose, twisting his wrist and throwing him to the ground. It's part of a crew member self-defense training class at the Federal Air Marshal compound in Sunrise. "The war on terrorism that we're involved in right now is not always being fought over in Afghanistan and Iraq anymore," Leekey said. "Pretty much our passengers and our crew are on the front lines right now. If something happens on the airplane, it's up to us to defend ourselves."  Federal Air Marshals won't release the exact numbers of how many crew members are trained in this voluntary course, but they do say the number is in the thousands. It's a day long course that teaches crew members how to spot suspicious behavior and react to problems before it's too late.

A whole day ... that's kind of excessive, don't you think ...
