---- Is it safe to block hotlinking when there is no referrer?

I have always allowed a blank referrer in my anti-hotlinkg code. Employees surfing the web from behind their company firewall quite often send a blank referrer, as do many schools, libraries, internet cafes, military and several mobile networks. Don't want to weird-out all those visitors & potential customers.
