This question was raised in terms of the under 16 racers - we have very strict rules in Ireland about "children in sport" (and before anyone kicks up about 16 year olds being referred to as children, that's what the Irish Sports Council named it so please take it up with them).
I'm told that all that is required that the label on the top section would be checked, which should not require much in the way of interaction.
I would assume that if a driver had an objection - possibly due to label location or being uncomfortable about this - then they would show up at scrutiny with their gear ready for inspection, but not wearing it.
Equally, if there was a more detailed examination required, then the scenario would be as Peter has described - the driver would be requested to bring all garments to scrutiny without being in them.
At the end of the day, if you're a driver who doesn't want to be "examined" by a scrutineer (regardless of respective gender), then don't show up to scrutiny wearing your gear if you know it needs to be checked.
