around Whiteface Mountain before landing. I was about 10 minutes over ETA
when somebody called on Saranac Lake Unicom asking if I was on the
frequency, because Flight Service had called them to see if I'd arrived
yet.


If you were ten minutes over your ETA it didn't happen to you.


Except my understanding at the time was that FSS didn't start searching
until 30 minutes or an hour after your ETA.
