Wouldn’t the cost be too high to them? I understand if it is a widely used language but at some point the cost-benefit calculation just isn’t there, right?

You’re seriously underestimating the governments ability to decipher a made up language. Bear in mind any government probably has entire departments dedicated to cracking codes and translation. Encryption is going to be a million times better than anything you can come up with. I’d just assume that if you can think it up, someone else can figure it out.

If you’re a “person of interest”, the government is happy to spend the last taxpayer dime to find out what you are up to.

Just who is likely to end up a person of interest? actual enemies of society or people who through their speech/thought threaten the governments power? So is it bin laden or occupy?

In general, felony charges not misdemeanors. For example
The night before, Long was shot to death outside her Butler Township home. No arrests have been made. Investigators with the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office do say they have a person of interest in the case, and executed a search warrant at a home Thursday.

It certainly could be, especially if you’re not doing anything wrong. But if a government pries that much, you’d maybe be painting a target on your back by inventing a new language. You could also use an existing language that is hard to translate and learn, and isn’t well known. Like Ithkuil

I think you're overestimating what governments like this have. What is more likely is that the government will just snatch up someone who knows the the made up language, torture it out of them, and then go from there. Far less resource intensive than having departments to decipher coded language.

Or bribe them with a sandwich, or simply by not being their favorite target
