No...not -Through- Queens, they'll go underground, so it won't disrupt the surface flow!
You know that will be 'cost effective'!

Nope.. just crazy talk, but I am sure it has been talked about.. doesn't men there has been any serious consideration... unless maybe if it is a MagLev train that needs no track.. Now THAT would be innovative.

I thought I saw a bunch of them over at the MAT, while I was doing LGA-BOS.
Yup, we are going to OWN NYC!
Oh wait, 'we' don't fly those jets...

Most of JFK is built on former swamp. No matter how they tried to engineer the tunnels it was a giant nightmare and as you mentioned way beyond anything they could consider cost effective. Terminal 8 in JFK is the new focus. It would work perfect for us.

I think that tunneling idea was pretty cool though, but as I understand it you are correct about the water problems..
