Meeting Up With Friends Not Flying

I’m not even sure this is possible, but I figured this would be the place to ask. I’ll be flying through SFO in August and will have a 4 hour layover. Some good friends I haven’t seen for years wanted to come out to the airport and have a little reunion. My plan was to by UC passes for them so we could have a little get-together. BUT - is it possible to get through security to get into the UC? I ‘vaguely’ remember at one point that UA could issue you a non-flying boarding card to get you through TSA, but idk if it was UA or a different airline, or if I’m dreaming this up all together. So - thats my questions. Can my friends get through security somehow to meet me for a few hours in the UC - or do I have to leave the secure area to meet with them, and then go back through security? TIA everyone -
