Flight attendants have far too much power, with little or no training, nor frankly do many of them have the intelligence to handle such authority. Stupid people with power can be very dangerous. The solution is that the cabin of aircraft should be video'ed and kept on a hard drive. In the event of a dispute, if the FA is found to have lied, or abused their power, they should at the minimum be dismissed, or possibly face criminal charges. Other agents with such authority, such as the police have strict rules governing their conduct, such as Miranda to act as a restraint. No such restraint is placed on Fa's and sadly many are too stupid to be given such power. There are countless examples and it is time to bring this under control.
