The O'Hare plans include a second people mover system, unconnected to the existing one, within the security perimeter. You could go through security in one terminal then ride the train across to the other terminal to board. It would be completely underground, except for a maintenance yard north of the western terminal.
There are completely separate plans to extend the Blue Line underneath the airport to the western terminal. The western station would be OUTSIDE security. This would be extremely costly, but it would allow for a new regional transit center at the western terminal, with LRT or BRT connections to Schaumburg, BRT connections to various places in the W/NW suburbs, the STAR Line, and possibly HSR. In fact, most plans for the Midwest HSR network involve an eventual O'Hare connection, but some propose a station at the eastern terminal and some the western terminal).
