Hi,

The [docker website](https://www.docker.com/docker-mac) mentions that Docker For Mac has

> Native Mac security with support for the MacOS sandbox security model

Also, the [beta announcement](https://blog.docker.com/2016/03/docker-for-mac-windows-beta/) mentioned that

> Docker for Mac was architected from scratch to be able to fit the OS X sandbox security model and we are working closely with Apple to achieve this.

However, the entitlements embedded into the Docker.app code signature do not explicitly enable regular sandboxing (as `com.apple.security.app-sandbox` appears to be set to `false`) Does anybody know the current status of sandboxing under MacOS ?

Thanks!
