The Transportation Security Administration has launched an internal investigation after finding managers at an air marshal field office involved in an assignment board (pictured) set up like a derogatory version of the popular game show Jeopardy!

According to CNN, the board includes categories like "pickle smokers, "our gang," and "creatures," which were words used by managers to describe gay men, blacks, and lesbians. The investigation is being launched at an Orlando, Fla., field office.

The TSA did not explain when the board was used, where it was displayed, or how it was used.
