Again, DL does this already (albeit in beta form at DCA), you don't actually need a boarding pass for anything. You can check bags, get though security, enter the lounge, and board with your fingerprints (assuming you're enrolled in CLEAR). Given DL's ownership of CLEAR I doubt there will be a pathway for UA (or anyone else) to do the same.
