Well, both.
It could work, in theory. After the plug (cylinder) has been frozen and cracked apart, AND all the little frozen bits have been shaken out, one still has to know to actuate the lock with another tool. If applied to where the shackle meets the lock body, I could see it working quite well, but I really wouldn't know as I have never tried it.
But who the hell carries liquid nitrogen?
