That is why this whole thing ticks me off a bit. The ADIZ does make flying more difficult in this area. For me, after a couple flights I figured it out and it is easily manageable but for people who are new to the area, I can see it really throwing them off in the right (or wrong) situation and we really don't get any benefit from it. Like you said, any terrorist with a fertalizer bomb and a plane big enough to carry it could fly as close to about 10 miles of the white house before anyone would think anything of it.
