A $10K penalty for carrying an item out of an airplane during evacuation would discourage the act.
It would make no difference at all. People act instinctively in situations like this. They don't sit down and do a cost benefit analysis. If you want to stop people taking hand luggage with them during an emergency evacuation, the only way to do it is stop them taking it into the cabin in the first place.
