FAs are not psychologists, pilots, police or anything else, they are just persons who, after a very rudimentary 4 weeks training course, are allowed to work on planes, safely on the other side of the flightdeck door. Nowadays in large percentages with an eastern european or middle east/islamic background.
US FA's are routinely alone with one pilot. All they have to do is open the door.

As far as those with middle east/islamic...yeah I guess that's a tough one. You'd have to be pretty sure of your background checks.
