We've had some threads here that question whether FAs have abused this power as well, playing the "security" card for minor issues.

That said, if an FA feels like a passenger is genuinely disruptive to the cabin, causing some sort of safety or security issue, they can and will take action...sometimes offloading the offenders themselves and sometimes having the police do it.
