Far as I recall, after the *ist D Pentax just puts a warning on the screen, not a hard lock-out of the shutter release. It pays to check the LCD at least once before you go shooting.
I solve this potential problem by strict adherence to policy: Cards come out of a camera for their contents to be move to the computer, and then are immediately re-fitted into the camera. Always, no exceptions. That way, I never go shooting with an empty camera. For film cameras, my policy is different. I pull the film after I've been out shooting no matter how many shots are left unexposed, so I always know when I pick up a film camera from the cabinet that it is empty and needs to be loaded. I don't head out the door with one until it is loaded.
