No.  LT is a required part of the CAS protocol:

    When /login behaves as a credential requestor, the response will
    vary depending on the type of credentials it is requesting. In most
    cases, CAS will respond by displaying a login screen requesting a
    username and password. This page MUST include a form with the
    parameters, "username", "password", and "lt".
    (Section 2.1.3, http://www.jasig.org/cas/protocol)

While removing this parameter may not be technologically possible
since it contains the Spring WebFlow session ID, even if it were
possible it would allow replay attacks.  Attempt to remove this
parameter at your own peril.
