How can you be so sure that the ADIZ isn't a typically poorly thought
out, airline industry inspired, TSA pseudo-security measure to provide
the public with tangible evidence that the TSA are earning their pay,
and the military with additional stateside operational duty?

You can't; however, NPR broadcast a discussion of security measures back when
the results of the 9/11 commission were made public. One of the officials
interviewed stated that "they" had been agitating for the equivalent of this
ADIZ for many years and that one of the "good things" about the terrorist
situation is that "no-one can seriously argue any more that the ADIZ isn't
necessary."

I'm afraid I no longer remember who made that comment, but I believe it was a
military officer.
