Where to dump an unwanted clip-on tie during a skyjacking:

1. Stick it in the briefcase.
2. Give it to Tina as a souvenir.
3. Throw it out the door.
4. Wrap it in toilet paper and throw it in the trash can.
5. Tie it to the bundle of stuff that was going out the door, such as the reserve chute with the X on it.
6. Tie it to the handle of the money bag clinch so it wouldn't chaff his hands.
7. Tie it around one shoe so that he is not totally barefoot on the ground.
8. Tuck it into the empty laminate pouch on the door since the instructional card was gone.
9. Wrap it around the crew's dinner to keep it a little warmer.
10. Smear hot sauce and gravy on it, and then place it next to the crew dinners so the German Shepherds go nuts.

Just sayin'...

or.... after Cooper going through all the issues to get ready for the jump, especially creating a makeshift carrier for the cash, at the end of it he realizes its minor annoyance and thinks "I don't need this tie" and grabs it and chucks it off, rather than taking storage space, which was quite limited.  In fact, that tena money could have been the three bundles he pulled to give to Mucklow, and when she wouldnt take it, he stuffs it in his pocket.  Or it didnt fit in bag and he was stuffing his pockets with bundles of cash. The tie wasn't needed, it would have been an annoyance, so he chucks it.

How much fricking space does a clip on tie take up?  Answer: not very much.  Apparently, Diclemeg, you've never owned, or stored away, a clip on tie.  They can be stored in virtually any cubby hole, anywhere -- they take up next to nothing in terms of space.  How much annoyance can a clip on tie be?  Answer: not very much.  Why do you insist on pole vaulting mouse turds with such an insignificant issue? And the Tina Bar money -- if he stuffed them in his pocket, how then did they get to Tina Bar, all nicely stacked together no less?

I'm not making any issue about the tie, instead I was giving my opinion about it made by another. 
And yes, I did have a clip on.  And, I think many might agree that when wearing a tie, one cant wait to remove it. I know I unbutton my neck button and remove the tie as soon as possible.  That is all I was saying in response to Robert, that it could have simply been that it no longer served the purpose and he chucked it.

The tie is a big deal to us, now. To Cooper, it meant nothing. He wasn't worried about DNA, microscopic particles or Tom Kaye. Taking it off before the jump was a perfectly rational decision, from his perspective. Overthinking things clouds the more important issues of the case.

couldnt agree more - 

Unmentioned above, were fingerprints.  Would Cooper have been concerned by leaving fingerprints on a polyester/nylon tie?   
If we assume yes, then that would imply that he took it off to get it out of way, early in his prep, and maybe forgot about it, being concerned about the other issues like the stairs.
If we assume no, then it could have a been left as a diss to a former employer or FBI or whoever,  or again, that he forgot about it.

And that he left the tie, could also imply that he wasn't management, but on the blue collar side, and that this was his disguise, getting the tie from his workplace.

A side thought....

Okay, 377, please lay out your Big Picture of what is going on with the FBI in Norjak. I accept your notion that the Bureau is too smart and too professional to lose evidence in their only unsolved skyjacking case. So they are setting up smoke screens? Why?

What say you?

...don't be afraid to add in Cossey, special treatment of GG, the T-Bar find, LD being announced as the "most promising," etc...
