Introduced in WordPress 3.3, the admin bar is a new version of the controversial “Toolbar” which came with WordPress 3.0. Personally, I think the admin bar is useful only when you’re the blog admin. When you’re a simple contributor, you don’t really need it. So why not getting rid of it, except for admins?

If you’d rather put this in a functionality plugin instead of a theme (http://www.doitwithwp.com/create-functions-plugin/), you’ll probably have to put it inside a hook like template_redirect. Otherwise it’ll run too early and the user data won’t be available to current_user_can().
How can the user log out if no admin bar displays?
@ schiwe
they can always go to the dashboard and logout or you can place a logout link in the blogroll.
If you decide to remove the admin bar then to provide your website visitors with a way to logout you can use the code:
echo wp_logout_url( $redirect );
