BL Lacertae objects may be Fanaroff-Riley type I (FR I) galaxies with a relativistic jet roughly parallel to the line of sight. The ratio of parent objects (FR Is) to beamed objects (BL Lacs) depends only on the jet velocity. Recently this ratio become observable. X-ray-flux-limited samples are used to demonstrate the viability of the beaming hypothesis. In the process, the X-ray luminosity functions of FR I galaxies and BL Lac objects are derived. Their respective contributions to the cosmic X-ray background radiation are calculated.
