For people who aren't members, they either get a code for the day or (like AC clubs) there's some sort of authentication mechanism. At MLL's, as a *G when I enter the club my BP is scanned, then I just enter my flight number and last name and am authenticated. These are very simple things to do and could be implemented within a matter of days. They're already doing something similar with in-flight wi-fii and the captive portal.
Are you listening UA?!?
Note for those who aren't familiar with what a MAC Address is: "A media access control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment."
Most people have no idea what a MAC address is.

That would be too logical.
Even Lufthansa stopped that in their lounges. You guys need to move on.
