They are BOTH. Below is a link to explain in in much greater detail than ap=
propriate here, however...DO NOT be fooled into thinking it is used only fo=
r traffic control. NEARLY EVERY major technological break through we have e=
xperienced in our lifetime has come about as a direct result of Military de=
velopment and deployment and then later introduced to the general public in=
 a form more "Acceptable" for use by the government to "monitor" what we do=
, where we go, and what we say, under the guise of "protecting" us or "enha=
ncing" our lives. In other words, "How can we spy on the people and make th=
em believe we are benefiting them in some way."
