I think they're pretty empowered and given a lot of leeway. Lots of threads here about someone having a mild disagreement with an FA about pretty much anything and it turning into a "security" situation.
Clearly there's a happy medium somewhere, and clearly there are FA's on both ends of the spectrum...ones that are hesitant to use their power even for a serious situation and others who will summon the police in the name of "security" if you look at them funny.
