Absolutely!! I had three flat tires in 45 minutes earlier this week because I didn't see anything in the tire and just replaced the tube, TWICE.
When I got home (having my wife come and get me in the car for the only time in 20+ years, btw) I pulled the tire off and VERY carefully inspected it from both the tread and casing side. Sure enough, there was a very small sliver of glass in the tire that was almost invisible. The point of a small pocket knife removed it and the bike has been trouble free since.
