Just a semantic note, it is "straitjacket". "straight" is like a 
non-wiggly line. "strait" means narrow or constricted. Thus, the 
straitjacket is a jacket that constricts your movement.

Of course, using "straight" is such a common mistake it has 
become generally accepted... but still, I like being precise with 
my words.
