As a card carring USMS swimmer for the past 4 years I am proud to say that I also carry the card for USATriathlon. :D
I have swam my entire life and I need to do something more than back and forth; up and down the lane. I find swim meets to be extremly boring and a good waste of a taper.
Triathlons, well, they Rock!
Anyone else out there want to stand up with me? Or am I to be forever banned from this site, never to return again untill my tires go flat and both my knees are surgically altered.

I do not see a problem with the current honor system for the Nationals.
People that put in false times in order to swim the full complement of events at nationals are on their own.
I don't think cheating of that nature is that prevalent; and even so - if you put in a time well below of what you are capable and finish way off - the embarrasment alone should be punishment enough. Usually only your teammates and a few others would know, but that should be enough to deter most individuals from such a deceitful ploy.
It's not that big of a deal.
