There is evidence that FRI jets have a fast "spine", consisting of relativistically moving plasma, and a slow "wall", decelerated by entrainement of ambient gas. This opens the interesting possibility that inverse Compton scattering of the CMB photons {IC/CMB} off the relativistic electrons could contribute to the high-energy emission from the fast spine. This strongly beamed radiation is visibile only in closely aligned FRI jets, i.e., acccording to unification schemes, in BL Lac objects. Thus, we propose to observe 2 radio-selected BL Lacs with prominent radio jets to search for IC/CMB X-ray emission and confirm unification models. This study will impact models for the origin of the FRI/II division.
