+#
+#     In /sys/kernel/security mounted the securityfs interface, which allows
+#     configuration of Linux Security Modules. This allows configuration of
+#     AppArmor policies, and so access to this may allow a container to disable
+#     its MAC system.
+#
+# Given that we're running privileged already, this should not be an issue.
