Yes, it can be set to skip trash warnings.  But you don't get a trash
warning if you try to trash a *locked* file.  You get a message indicating
that the "Item is locked or in use" and *can't* be thrown away.

If you try to trash an *unlocked* application file, you will get a
warning message with <CANCEL> and <OKAY> buttons.  But you should
never be able to trash a *locked* file at all.

BTW, to skip the warnings when deleting an application, hold down the
OPTION key before you drag the item to the trash.
