The page won’t load for me so forgive me if I’m missing context for this analogy. But on its face it’s clearly not analogous: training on how to wear a mask is an action taken on one own’s body, strip searches are performed on another person.

Granted, out of context I find the quoted reasoning equally unconvincing: servicemembers (presumably military?) may also sometimes trained on how to commit suicide in the event they find themselves in circumstances with greater risk of peril, but that doesn’t mean it would be lawful to arbitrarily order them to do that.
