What specific protections and punishments are there to prevent the misuse of census data?

Famously, during WW2 we used the census to help round up Japanese Americans, and more recently they used the census to target Arab Americans (although those were statistics aggregated at a zipcode level).

What prevents Trump from using the census to target illegal immigrants? Would it be an impeachable offense to order the census bureau to hand over detailed records?

It requires specialized pans

Not super specialized pans. It uses common, everyday pans that many people already have. Cast iron and tri-ply are pretty common. I didn't have to go out of my way to buy induction pans; some of them I had for a decade before getting a induction hot plate.

The main problem is that it doesn't work with non-stick aluminum pans.

The sound is annoying, though.
