I was just corrected on this myself. The short answer is no; however, the long answer is maybe:

The real issue isn't the LED being LIT (as opposed to FLASHING). Some USB ports will cause the LED to light even when there is no activity; in which case, it is safe to remove the drive. However, if the LED is flashing, it is not safe to remove the drive.
