The list of bad traders is long and sometimes it takes a long time searching through it. Is it possible to have an icon near the members name linking to the BTA so that when someone is offered a deal they know that they need to keep an eye on things?

Searching the Confirmed Bad Traders list and CBT takes very little time. Just go to the search function, put in the username and search, put in the zip code and search, put in the city name and search, put in the street name and search. All done!

Given the number of invalid BTA cases, ones involving misunderstandings and ones that are quickly resolved, I'm not really comfortable with such an icon that flags a member. It could also lead to a false sense of security for some people who assume that if there's not an icon, they don't need to worry, and then they'll be more likely miss a returning banned member who's address is in the CBT, and who knows what else may happen.

While this isn't the first time what you propose has been suggested, nderdog's answer is perfect:
