A. When you arrive, they will talk to you in admitting about any health problems. If you arrive by yourself, you will have to strip and be searched in all orifices for contraband. If others came with you , it will happen together. They check the bottom of your feet. They ask you to lift your testicles etc. They don't touch you. It takes all of 3 minutes.They wear gloves.
You then get clean linen and are taken to your range.
You might not get searched again. Only searched if there is a drug problem or something is missing.
