Gotta love when the pilot tells you that there are mechanical issues with the plane... Last time I was on my way to Vegas we turned around while we were taxiing to the runway and the pilot told us that there was something wrong mechanically and we will have to go back to the gate.
You know what Mr. Pilot? Don't tell me that. Lie. There are literally, a million different things you can say that are better then that. Tell me that you really need to take a big dump and you don't want to sit on the disgusting airplane seats or that you forgot your gameboy and this is a freaking long flight. Hell, as long as you don't use the words "terrorists" or "bomb" in your excuse, ANYTHING you say will be more reassuring then "Mechanical Issues". If the god damn engines are on fire and everyone can see it, I want you to lie to me and tell me that everything is peachy with the plane.
That should be flight training 101.
