Can I pass through a USB device to a container?
It is not possible to pass through a USB device (or a serial port) to a container as it requires support at the hypervisor level.

Suggestion

It is now possible by following this guide from Microsoft build:

Connect USB devices

I have tested this by connecting and Arduino Uno and reading data from the attached USB COM port from within the docker container.
