Where clauses should be syntactically required for delete or update statements. Throw an error without them. If you really want to hit every record in the table then throw a WHERE true in there just to be explicit.
Its such a common mistake i dont get why this isnt a thing.
Good idea.
Easy enough to slap a where 1=1; on there if you want to burn the place down
