I don't remember seeing this before 10.2, but it's back!! While holding down the Option key and selecting "Empty trash," you can delete all items in the trash, including those pesky locked items. Oh yah!

[Editor's note: And if you haven't noticed, there are keyboard shortcuts for both the regular empty trash (shift-command-delete) and the super empty trash (add the option key to the mix!).]
